those three words

those three words
are so over used
those three words
are tired and abused
no one ever
seems to mean them
no one ever
seems to ration them
their given out
like free samples
yet they are so sacred
they are tossed carelessly
into phrases
without any emotion

those three words
people die to say
those three words
they chase day to day
never knowing just what
they really mean
never feeling
that amazing feeling

those three words
i whisper to myself
those three little words
when i think of you
their all i can say
to give you a glimpse
of just how i really feel
to give you just a tiny ray
of the sunshine beaming
in my heart
those three words
are tried and true
those three words
i love you
