I Love You
“I love you”
When you hear that phrase,
What do you feel?
Do the words feel real?
Do you feel sick ?
Right down to the pit
Of your stomach?
As you remember that cliché chick flick
Where the guy was only playing his part,
When he said those three words and then broke a girl’s heart…
“I love you”
Are they the spare key that will hopefully lead to getting some action,
The three word lie, used several times to fulfill sexual satisfaction,
Or the phrase used as a conversation filler,
But when its not chanted back, conversation killer.
Are they just words that we have learnt to neutralize ,
Neutralize into lies
Learnt in the playground when love is only understood as the prince and snow white,
I have been taught that love should be worth the fight,
But sometimes we must question whether we are fighting for that one, who is right.
“I love you”
I did not just read three little words,
They epitomize the truest promise or oath,
Said by the one who cares for you the most,
The one, who bellows into the depths of your soul,
When they earnestly say that not only do they adore you,
And not only acknowledge that you are their Romeo or Juliet,
But also understand that you were designed by One greater,
For each other
You fit, like an image of ying and yang,
Complementary souls that become one.
Their voice plays over and over in your head like a never ending song,
Only their eyes can read your deepest thoughts,
Only their ears catch every word you say
Only their voice, can say those three words, the right way..
Love is patient, Love is kind,
Is true love even possible to find?
Love, perhaps overrated, for some non-existent.
But no matter how hard one may try to deny or ignore love,
It translates into hundreds of languages and is real for millions,
Te amo, Je t’aime, te dua, tora dost daram, I love you.
