Gah, love

I don't believe in love. Maybe i do but i just dont like to because i have said it in the past where i have regreted it and gotten my heart broken. So i have been going out with this guy for about 2 months and he told me he loved me. I told him i dont believe in love and he says he wants to know if i love him. I really don't know if i do. So i wrote a poem, even before he said and i went back and tweaked it up and i wanted to know if you guys think i should give it to him as my response and weather i should say it to him or give it to him in a note/email.

Poem:

Love is just a word you say
I go without it day by day

I don't need three simple words to show you care
Love is suppose to be something strong and rare

I hear the words everywhere I go
but how can you tell, how do you know?

I've said it before, although i wish i had not
Those words on my lips will fade and rot

Love isn't forever, nor very long
I try to warn you in this Poem or song

How do I know what you say isn't a lie
If you ask if im in love im quick to deny

I've gotten my heart broken too many times
So I cover these pages with my simple rhymes

I don't want to lose my defense, what if I fall?
I don't want to cry, to beg or to crawl

I don't want to get attacked in fear of pain
I don't want you to be a bad memory, an unwashed stain
