I Love You Poem by graham hammond

The first time i fell in love,
i fell so hard it didn't hurt.
The smiling numbness, an all-time high.
and i kept climbing up and up and up into oblivion,
into heaven.
Blinded by the lights of now,
and the never-ending loop of infinity,
Till three words changed my life forever.

Three words she was to return with four,
but thought them best unsaid.
Four words that could save a life,
i love you too.
But my words hung there like phantom laundry,
evaporated like cologne,
and left it's scent in silence.

Three words that would scarcely graze my tongue again,
i and love and you.
