Why do words like "love" and actions of affection  



Get taken as a threat or promise of devotion



Instead of just accepted for the beauty that they have?



When you tell someone that you love them



They act like you're taking away all their freedom



But it's giving, it's not taking away.



Love and friendship don't restrict and bind



Those chains are only in your mind



It doesn't have to be that way.



People act like it's something to be ashamed of



To lock away or hide behind closed doors



This kind of secrecy only breeds social scheming,



Gossip, lies, and misunderstanding



It doesn't seem that appealing to me.



Why do words like "love" and actions of affection



Get taken as a threat or promise of devotion



Instead of just accepted for the beauty that they have?



Why bleed all the meaning out of emotions



With all kinds of weird connotations?



Words will fuck us up enough by themselves.
