three fateful words

love, in the happy sense.

it has been said

too many times to count

but now is when i feel it

in its full amount

 

((for the word, "love"

is easily overused

and rarely can i shake the feeling

that it loses it meaning

over time))

 

but then the sight of your face, so bright

shining, a hopeful beacon of light

proves me wrong of all my doubts

i feel foolish, but loved

 

six months, two years, or one day

i feel my love will always stay

and yours will stay along with mine

i feel no more need to define

 

those three words..

"i love you"

Author's Note

personal. i just couldn't avoid the stanza of free verse.

I for one think the three words are overused and took advantage of alot.
They somehow don't get used right anymore.
You can say I love you all you want or how many times you want and it
simply loses it meaning.

Often a touch can say so much more.
A touch can be real when words fail us.
I like this, you make a most wonderful Opinion here.
Well expressed.

"I love you" simply means just words.
They can make you or break you.
I like how you spoke out on this subject.

even though it's free verse, the words blend together very melodically - i like it! (And, when put in context, this isn't disconcerting like some of the other poetry you have up here)

The flow in the last couple of lines made the piece. I think this will really speak and relate to many of the readers, as it did me :) Very well written. Oh, and I completely agree with you. ..

Extremely well put! It's not too complex but definitely tells us enough. Im pretty sure this is one of my favorites of yours. Great work! :D
