Three Simple Words
three simple words
could make everything,
so complicated
they could make or break a relationship
and be the reason to leave or stay
three simple words
which i’ve said to you
seem to mean nothing,
while you say those words
to someone else
three simple words
cannot even begin to describe
how i feel.
they don’t mean enough
or say exactly what i mean
i want the world for you
and for you to see how amazing you are,
how much you mean to me,
and how much you mean
to everyone else
you are my world
you make me smile
and laugh
and i will always
want to be with you
i wish you saw me
in a new light
and i could hear those
three simple words:
‘I love you’
