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!
