Words are words, and nothing more
Words can break a heart, I'm sure
Carelessly used, without regard
For outcome, consequence, or harm
One may say "love"
Without feeling love at all
The same of "hate" and "fear" is true
So do I dare, say "love" to you?
For how can I say "love",
When you've heard it much before?
How can I say "love"
When I'm not even truely sure
How do I say "love"
To someone I've known so long?
What if I say "love"
and it turns out that I'm wrong?
I can't risk losing you, you mean way too much to me
But how can I keep these feelings under lock and key?
I know I need to tell you
But I just can't find the words
How can I say "love"
When what I feel is so much more?

So hard...so confusing!  It is always best to tell that special someone how you feel.

Good poem. You should at least try to tell him how you feel.

unfortunately, we don't have a single description of "love"
one of the biggest mysteries of life i guess
nothing in life is for certain, life is a big gamble. there are some things in life that have to be said or done
