[@TheMamzellemanon]

“He’s just a silly sad boy, remember?” Ugh. Those words hit me like a train.

[@lovesickzim3763]

When a *man* tells you he loves you. When a man tells you he loves you, he will be sitting right next to you, looking into your beautiful eyes of wonder with a smile on his charming face. He hold your hand in his and whisper the words on his butterfly silk lips into your mind of imagination and temptation. He will call you evey morning to wish you well and to be happy that magnificent day. He will love you and cherish you. When he asks if you loved him too, he will be standing right at your door with flowers in hand. He will smile at you as the words fell into your lap like a leaf in the light breeze, realizing you did. You realize that he meant every word of it. Because he is a man, remember? A happy, happy man.

No boy ever said 'I love you' to me but I clicked and so you are. *We no need no boy, we need a damn MAN.*

[@Leah-gb6vg]

People don't understand that the guy who wrote this, and who performed this, was writing about one specific person. He was angry, and after you get hurt so many times you start to believe all guys are like this. This is his poem. If you can't understand it from multiple perspectives don't listen.

[@gmwfandoms]

[@nataleemattei]

[@Kruemmel97]

this.

[@galaxyweirdo7104]

I know that feeling... All to well

[@sarahroberts8088]

notice the word "boy" is used instead of the word "man". that is because a man would never do that no matter what. a man will tell you he loves you and will give you every reason he knows of how and why he loves you. a boy will not do that. a boy will tell you he loves you and leave you because he either does not know better or does and doesn't strive to do better. please, fall in love with a man, and do not, please do not fall in love with a boy

[@tvds8350]

Yes

[@doy.2387]

When a man tells you he loves you... He means it.

[@yokebro1941]

[@_bxby.birb_2262]

Vanessa Ruiz I know, I went through the same thing, it sucks. But once you hit rock bottom there is no other way to go then up, and even if you have to claw your way up with no one there for you then do it. Fight as hard as you can to get back up and show him what he lost. I know you can make it through this. All of you. You guys are probably the real strong people

[@ceciliaventicinque4892]

What's sad.. is that you never know when someone really means it when they say, I love you.

[@youdontknowme2235]

There is a difference between a girl and woman, and a boy and a man. A woman and man will own up to their words, understand the responsibility of caring for another person, and when they make a mistake, own up to it. A boy and a girl on the other hand, will deny it all, and find it an endeavor to only gain from not give

[@sharmane_2289]

“I love you” is a very strong thing to say, don’t say it unless you mean it, save someone the heartbreak, please

When you truly love someone, this won’t happen I promise. I’m not saying it would be easy but true love never fades. You see no other person as attractive when you’re with the one you truly love. But it is only true love when they feel that same way. You will know when you feel it.

[@pearl1746]

If it was love, a genuine person would never treat you second. A girl who has never experienced anything and hearing the words "I love you" will make anyone vulnerable. Then to realize that everything was false will break any person. The video implies that we all have to realize that love has to be earned, not handed out freely. That no matter if he breaks your heart, he will just be a another memory of a "boy" that is still experiencing his own love, a person you used to know. That not to fall in love with a "boy" but a genuine person who means it.

thank you very much I really mean it, I know I can get throught this, there are alot more people suffering from worse problems, I know the pain will go away someday

[@_bxby.birb_2262]

Lyffraun Flecora People may be suffering worse but these are your problems, you are going through this now and for now it feels horrible to you so it matters. The pain will go away some day but until then you'll have to fight. If no one else is here for you or rooting for you I am. I'm here for you. If you need to talk I'm always here. Try to have a good day. You can do this.

[@sofiajimena152]

when he told me he loved me, it made me feel so special and hopeful. maybe because i dont remember anyone else saying it to me. my family havent told me they loved me in years and neither did anyone else. it means so much to me because he felt like the only one who cared about me. I felt so special when i heard those 8 letters. but it turns out it was a lie, maybe not hearing it at all is better than knowing someone didn't mean it, and maybe thats why my family hasnt said it either. they dont wanna lie.

[@r0xx0r31]

Sometimes , people do love you but it's hard for them to express it , hard for them to say it. Don't worry , that was the first time you heard it and it didn't go as planned but it's okay , he just wasn't the right one for you. All you gotta do is wait , one day out of the blue sky someone will be infront of and tell you how much he loves you and he will mean it too cuz everyone has a soul mate somewhere around the world and one way or another they will find each other. All you have to do is wait and trust the fate and have faith too, cuz meeting someone is fate , knowing them is choice and falling for them is beyond control. I hope you're having a wonderful day , stay safe.
