What Do You Mean? ~ 01/07/2000 Poem by Loretta Rowley

To say, 'I love you, ' can come easy.
To mean these words depends on you.
'I love you, ' are just words.
They may sound good together,
but they are worthless without meaning and feeling.
They have to come from the heart.
If they do they can become the most priceless treasure.
You can fall in love over night,
but to stay in love takes a lot.
It takes patients.
It takes passion.
It takes time.
Most of all it takes the willingness of all your soul.
Don't rush things because it can fall easily.
Take a step back and make sure it's the person you love.
And, not the thought of love with that person only.
To say, 'I love you, ' can come easy.
To mean these words depends on you.
