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.
