Three Little Words

I love you.

They are so simple

yet mean so much

I love you.

They're heavy,

too much

The weight of the words sits on me

I can't breathe -

I love you

Guilt take over for a time,

they are still there

I-Love-You

They started nagging after you left,

those little words,

when you weren't there

They meant more to me

three little words

more as, you weren't there.

You didn't think about them,

those little words

I can't tell you

I love you

I didn't understand,

why they choked in my throat

I love you

the weight is still there,

it presses down

it stays with me

it's my burden

three little words

I can't say it

I wont mean it

I. Love. You.
