I love you

say “I love you”

It is only a word.

Nothing unusual.

Just not often heard.

To say “I love you”

Means so much.

Just a smile.

Or somebody’s touch.

To say “I love you.”

Can sometimes be hard.

Not in any letter.

Nor even a card.

To say “I love you.”

Can really hurt.

Especially when ….

You’ve been chucked in the dirt!

To say “I love you”

Can complicate things.

Means so much more.

When you’re wearing a ring.

To say “I love you.”

Can be the beginning of a good end.

To find your true love and very true friend
