Saying I love you, such a verbally pretentious myth
Three words that always please the one you’re with
Known as a phrase of truth, or just a fall back
Since finding someone real, is like a needle in a haystack

So how do you know, if someone is being true?
It's easy, just watch the things they do
For actions always speak louder than words
And helps you determine a person’s standards

When you hit an all time low, and need advice
Do they reach a hand out, or try to entice?
Offering you true feedback, and not just pity
To build your character from low, to gritty

Are they by your side, through the decisions you make?
Or do they give off vibes, as if they would forsake
Do they give you support, to help your character develop?
Through the best and the worst, even when you’ve grownup?

Do you feel you need to dress up every time you see them?
As if you didn’t, you would receive nothing but condemn?
Or do they see through looks, as if it’s a thing of the past
Making a low self-esteem, become nothing but an outcast?

Love is something expressed by more than words
It's peoples actions that reveal the honest and cowards
Any body with a brain can repeat a phrase they’ve heard
Until you understand the true meaning, this phrase should sound absurd
