Three Words

when you love someone
you should never hesitate to tell them
unafraid of hearing it back

love isn’t based on reciprocation 
but what is given

say it confidently
say it loud 
but don’t hold it in 
love is a strong feeling

holding it in can destroy you
but for what? because your scared?
be brave in the game of love
because you could pass up your soulmate 

due to fear
you could lose a lifetime of happiness.

so in conclusion, i love you
