Love is both sweet and sour!

I said I loved you, but no, I don't.

I never did, and I don't really care.

I know I gave you hope with my phony affection. 

I was never in love with you.

The truth is that I was only passing.

I needed someone to nurture my feelings.

If you still need more from me,

Let's continue.

Let's go with the flow.

But remember, I have no feelings for you.

It will all be an act of love, coming from me.

I see that you are in tears.

Stop sobbing; don't cry.

Your tears will not change how I feel.

I know what I just said is heartbreaking.

Please forgive me; I'm setting you free from my lies.

We can continue this friendship; let's see where it goes.

Maybe, just maybe, I will love you for real.

But remember my words each time you are with me.

Don't be sad; don't feel used and betrayed. 

Love is both sweet and sour!
