I love you too.

Four simple words,

Easily said, but really true?

 

I love you too.

A reply, perhaps made in haste

If only they really knew.

 

I love you too.

A lie buried deep in the heart,

they really don’t have a clue.

 

I love you too.

There is real sadness and grief.

Wondering is it really for you?

 

I love you too.

Bitterness will ferment in time.

Out of love, is this really all that grew?

 

I love you too.

Said so many times in bed!

It really means we’re through.

 

I love you too.

A truth we all hope to hear.

One we really can, misconstrue.

 

I love you too

The cynic laughs out loud.

Are they really such a shrinking shrew?

 

I love you too

For some it’s the real deal,

Or is it really just a mix in the brew

 

I love you too

By txt or email or twitter

Is really a coward’s way to screw!

 

I love you too.

We want to hear it daily

A routine that really changes hue

 

I love you too

For some, a deep felt emotion.

One I really hold for you.

 

I love you too.

Said by me a thousand times,

Of course, I really, really do!
