Three little words
I love you
Eight little letters
Enough to send the strongest askew

Said to one
I’m your mother
I’m your father
Your sister your brother

To another
It means my best friend
The people where
There is no need to pretend

Then that special one
The one whose heart you share
It means the world
It builds them a castle in the air

Love isn’t what you feel for them
It’s what you feel with them
With them or not
It’s a place from where your whole life can stem

Watching sunrises together
Sharing as it sets at the end of the day
Always together
Even when life has something else to say

The power to launch a thousand ships
To start a hundred wars
The soul of a million poems
The pain inside a million songs

It's beauty
It's care
It's hunger
It's every emotion that it can dare

It can confuse
It can scare
It can force mistakes
Or just make you stop and stare

Let it flow
And you are powerless before it
Feel its surge
And you are invincible with it

I love you
It means so much
To that special person it’s written on the heart
With the gentlest touch
