Three Little Words

Just a little missive, a note, a billet doux,
words scratched out on paper, strictly entre nous.
No literary masterpiece, not even clever prose,
just words strung together, but they're the ones I chose
to let you know my feelings and the depth of my affection
please accept them unadorned, without any circumspection.
When used with neither thought nor care, designed to misconstrue,
three little words, seven letters, four vowels, implicitly, I love you!

I like the cadence of this one; it reads like a song, John.
