Three Words For You

My paper is lost in the wind..
                 Only three words stayed to begin..
              The air of lost souls spins my thoughts..
        Over valleys of confusion where I wasn't taught..
                  The words clench on with dear life..
           Carving there way in like strokes of a knife..
                A destination that has lost its way..
                 Like folded paper placed in a tray..
            Till it reaches the eyes it's meant to feed..
        Only then will these three words drip and bleed..
             And you will see your everything I do..
                                  Just because,
                                           I 
                                         Love
                                          You

Love is powerful, it hides a multitude of faults. It seems that there is no wrong when love is involved. Nice reading. Keep up the good work Michael!
