He Said Three Words |

He Said Three Words He said three words and captured me Who once thought love a fantasy A dream, a hope, devised by fools Or simply just a worn out tool His words they took me by surprise It’s hard for me to realize How through these scars, he beauty sees Or why he wanted, needed, me He said three words in whispered breaths And somehow touched my inner depths How could I answer, mute reply And still he waited, softly sighed I’ve used up all my foolish whims What have I left to offer him A tattered heart whose lame disguise Would fool not even blind man’s eyes He said three words, they fell on ears That craved that sound for countless years Betrayed by tongue, with tear filled eyes I answered back in warm reply I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (09-09-2004 09:26 PM).] |

Yes! Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Ruth, the owl is perched very pretty tonite. So many thoughts of three words, I love you, I miss you, I desire you, you are beautiful, Into infinity....something says to me that all could have been those words said. And more. |

This is lovely. A dream for some of us, reality for blessed others, but lovely none the less. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
