Three Words: 'I Love You'

Three words that carry so much meaning 'I love you' - is such a profound expression Of the total surrender to Love's conquering And a lasting commitment of sweet affection. 'I love you' is such a faithful declaration Three simple words with a binding promise To give the best with unselfish devotion To one who is loved and desired to please. When uttered in deepest sincerity 'I love you' can cross the highest mountains It can sail the distance of many seas And the very existence of Time be in vain. Three words that may sometimes gravely cost Even the lives of star-crossed lovers Like Romeo and Juliet whose lives were lost In their 'I love you' sighed in death forever.
