Tell me what it is you see
When you hold my hand and look at me

Tell me what it is you hear
When I express my love, dear

Tell me what it is you feel
When you read these words so real

Tell me what it is you taste
When you touch your lips to my grace

Tell me what it is you smell
When I place you under a muddled spell

Three
Words to tell you
What you mean...

I
L o v e
Y o u

In
Every touch you give,
Special to me.

I
L o v e
Y o u

For
The way in which
You hold me.

I
L o v e
Y o u

Especially
In our late night
Sweet goodbye kiss.

I
L o v e
Y o u

In
The moments when I
Need you most.

I
L o v e
Y o u

More
Than three simple words
Shared between us.

Help me
Teach me

To create beauty out of simple words
To draw a picture in black and white

With nothing but the thoughts
That haunt me
Tease me
Tie me to a broken past.

Is it asking too much
Of a stranger
To hold me
With understanding eyes?
