Three little words, often times misused

*We say” I love you”* *Just about every day* *Sometimes the words are whispered* *To the heart of one that is far away* *We turn to the one we love* *As we fall asleep at night* *Smile into their eyes…whisper* *“I love you” …hold me tight* *Spoken at the end of a phone call* *As we rush out to start a new day* *Or accompanied by a quick kiss* *As we hurry on our way* *The words are always there* *To be used with sincerity* *Sometimes we forget what* *They truly mean* *Those three little words* *Mean so much to me* *Whenever I say them* *I want you to believe* *They are coming from a heart* *That is deeply in love with you* *One filled with joy and happiness* *Because it’s a love that is true* *I want you to remember that I love you* *For everything you are...everything you do* *For coming into my life…making me* *Everything I am with you* *I want you to remember that you’re* *The best person I’ve ever known* *I feel so lucky to have you in my life.* *Making my heart your home* *I want you to remember* *That true love is forever* *For now until the end of time* *Our hearts cannot be severed* *I want you to remember* *that you’re the most wonderful thing* *that has ever happened to me* *my happy ending…you have set me free* *You are my dreams come true* *My friend…my love…wrapped into one* *I knew it from the beginning* *The moment our love begun* *I love you my darling* *No words can express* *How I truly feel* *I knew it from the moment we met* *That this love was for real*

Kathleen,

Love is life. So often, we say it without thinking, but then again isn't it better than not saying it at all? Wonderful write, and made one think about the people in their lives.

Sometimes the words 'i love you' are used too freely and become meaningless. In Scotland, we don't say those three words very much,
at least not in working-class Glasgow where I hail from.

But when your father or mother's drunk, then you can't shut them up with their words of love ... ha ha!

Lovely expression, Kathy. The words "I love you" are often used without real thought as to their depth and true meaning. You've expressed it so well here. Beautiful! Welcome back, hugs, Elizabeth

So lovely, my hazel eyed friend. However the words, "I love" (whatever) are words that so often are used without thought and I find myself stopping to think before I say them because the words "I love" are meant to mean an ultimate feeling or emotion. The man you speak of is truly a lucky person to have one such as yourself that loves so deeply.
Your friend; Mark
