Saying “I Love You” Means Nothing

Friendenemies, in-laws, lovers

They say “I love you” flippantly all the time

to manipulate, to control, to get what they want

They use these three little words to force and guilt trip others

Once the “I love you’s” are exchanged it’s puts certain expectations on the relationship.
