Why can't I say "I love you", to a man I hardly know
Because there are some people, who would say 'there you go'
And they will go tell others, 'that dame sure has an afair'
One just not say "I love you", unless there's more to share

The words "I love you" in my land, are used in many ways
And I myself are using them on equally many days
I said 'I love you' to my boss, when he decided to keep me
'I love you' I said to this man, who helped my cat down from a tree

Once I had an accident and a policeman took my arm
I said 'I love you' to him too and he was rather charmed
'I love you' I yelled to my vet, when he delivered three
Lambs, mind you and he was pleased, because he smiled at me

And when I get replies from Noah, writing 'Titia, I love you'
I sit here still at my pc and think 'dear Noah, I love you too'
Because you have the energy and lovely heart of youth
I've never met this lad at all, but I feel it's the truth

Balladeer's poetry makes me laugh and sometimes it's sincere
Am I denied to tell this guy, 'You hit my heart, I love you Deer?'
Or like Duncan who writes often, that he likes my landscape pic
Telling this man, I love him for it, gives me just a kick

Not a Poet, I don't recall, did I tell you yet 'I love you?'
I didn't? Oh dear here I go 'Man, I love you through and through'
And Krawdad..WOW the looks of him, besides his poetry?
Did I mention LongJohn and Toe, how dear they are to me?

I could name so many men, who touched me one way or other
With the thought, I shouldn't write "I love you", I don't bother
So when you hear some rumors go, that this dame has an affair
I urge you to believe them all, because it's true, my love I'll share


Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

That's quite the list! Have they all been kissed?  
LOL, you go for it Titia, for the kind of love you spread is a first rate WORLD healing love. I'll spread that rumor about you any day of the week.

Those men are blessed by your "loving" them!

Love makes the world go 'round--but the day you were born, it began to spin much faster!

You truly are a sweetheart--and I love you!

Titia - ahh how sweet. I understand as I have a girlfriend here in town to whom I always say "I love you" to at the end of our telephone conversations. She says it back to me as well. Now some might raise an eyebrow to that. But she has done so much to cheer me on, how could I not but love her? Go ahead...shout I love you...and I will shout it back. Chris

that perches in the soul....

Midnightsun, lol
I'll just send my kisses on a cloud
And send them off to Heaven
Er...I think I lost all count
But I know there were once seven

Linda, I love the ladies equally as much, specially when they write lovely words like you did

Ahh Nightshade, 'I love you' should always be the end of a conversation, you keep saying that. As Linda said: it makes the world turn 'round.Knuffels!

Duncan, I love it when I make you smile ..er....that will cover it all up, don't ya think

Ahhh...I can add a new one to my list.
Robert Frazier..mmm..just love that name

Oh my,
and charmed we all are by you, Titia!
I recall the workshop we did together, and we were total strangers.
You have an open heart.
Love this.
Thank you.

When people open their hearts,
and mind,
love overflows.

We need you in our government, Titia.

You have the spark that they need to see...
