Three Little Words
Three Little Words
I know that I, cannot say,
“I know how to love”
And yet I heard quite enough
In three little words
I almost, gave, up myself
I had had enough
A simple show of kindness
Easing me: My worth
When all I felt was painful
I was so alone
Everyone seemed, turned around
No one knows a thing
As my eye-wells filled with tears
I was on my own
Then I saw three little words
Lipped; but still they sing
The way you feel about me
Matters not, in truth
You cared enough in kindness
Saved a soul in need
You gave yourself: Love ensued
A debt; you refused
For I will pay someone who
All you’ve done for me
You have taught me how to love
Grateful; you had cared
And I, will always love you
Simple, words to say
I wonder where I would be
If you weren’t to share
In your eyes your heart was true
Asked: "Are you okay?"
