In my heart I held one "I Love You, "
O, how it longed to be heard!
Three words that I guarded so closely
Soon grew restless, like a captive bird
Three words, anxious to unlock the door
Of my heart so they could flee
To find refuge in another heart
And form one love for eternity
But these words cannot be flung in jest,
Too rare and precious are they,
Too easily could they be seduced
And then used in some deceitful way
One night, my heart behaved carelessly,
Leaving the door's latch undone,
Acting on a whim, "I Love You" left
And to a profane heart it did run
He said 'Trust me, I'll cherish these words,
I swear by Heaven above you, '
Convinced by his passion,I succumbed,
But he defiled my last "I Love You"
Three words, wrapped in a scarlet mantle,
Would never be repeated;
On a blazing pyre they found their peace,
Their purpose so cruelly defeated

Just Three Words There are three short words that, to me, much matter, and make me dream of a.....gargantuan [BIG] platter. I'll always respond by first emptying out my bladder. Supper is ready! Hearing that, I couldn't be gladder! bri ;)
