Three Words

Why can't you say those words The ones I so long to hear? Do those words scare you Fill your mind with fear? They're only three simple words Spoken every single day Why do you find them So very hard to say? Do you know how much it hurts When I look you in the eye And ask you to say them: When I beg of you to try? Your refusal to admit to me That you feel the same way Makes it harder to understand Why you just won't say What you feel in your heart And what I see on your face How would you feel, really If you were in my place? Why do you continue to do this; Why do you refuse say Those three simple, magic words And make my pain go away? I'm pleading and I am begging Because you know what to do: Just say those words I long to hear The ones that go 'I Love You'.
