Those Three Little Words


How do I tell you
Those three little words?
As I look into your warm eyes
Looking down at me
My minds bursts to tell you
My mouth wanting to speak
But my overprotective heart
Hesitates with a soft cry
So long I have built walls
So high and so strong
Afraid of loving again
Should I leave you in?
Can I trust the words of love
You whisper so softly to me?
My stomach churns and
My hands shake
My heart begins to flutter
Wanting to be set free
With a deep breath and a soft sigh
The words tumble from lips
I wait, my breath catching
Then I see your loving eyes
Shining down at me
I feel you tender lips
Meet my own and
My fragile heart soars
With the love it’s been waiting for
And happiness I thought
I would never know again.

Hi rosepetals25,
Three little words,
I wonder what they could be?
Are they "Goodby my love?"
Or, I love thee?

Nicely done rosepetals, the ending was suberb.

Wonderful words of expression and I know this feeling well.  I am just now trying to get half way there and your words say much of what I feel so deep inside....well written and full of loving release.
