Three Words.

The lights shine.
I turn to see you in the shadows.
You whisper softly my name.
I back away, suddenly wishing you weren't there.

Never had I felt this way towards you.
Those words you spoke scared me.
I wish i knew you meant them.
Or i would have never felt this way.

I was frightened by those three syllables.
Wishing it was really true.
It could not have ever been true.
No one has said them to me before.

You hold me close.
I forget my worries and close my eyes.
I hear the heart you said beat for me.
Suddenly I realize your words are true.
"I love you" he whispered.
