I LOVE YOU
When was the last time you heard someone telling you these 3 beautiful words?
Isn’t it heart melting to hear this from someone you’ve always loved?
How you wished to hear this
From your family or friends
From the people you love
As for me, Oh I hear it every day
I LOVE YOU
Every moment of silence
Every time the world pauses
Every single day without fail
Every time the cosmos gives me all the serenity that it could offer,
I hear this
But not from you who have given me the love that I never deserved
Not from you who never failed to show me how demons learn to love
Not from you who took away all the sadness and despair
Not from you, no not anymore
But from my memories of you
I could still hear your voice that once spoke these 3 beautiful words
It lingers even to the deepest part of my soul
Every time my mind makes another recall of you saying this,
My lips would draw that pleased smile
But that smile will always be followed by a teardrop
A droplet of rain that must’ve been lost by the sky
just found its way to my gloomy eye
Your eyes even defined the love that I’ve always wished I still have
I have you
I had you
I LOVED YOU
I still do
You still once loved me too
More than anything or anyone
More than I do
But I pushed you away
I told you not to stay
I thought it would still be okay but no
These beautiful words that once gave color to my day
Turned my whole world gray
All with the word regret
All I hear are the echoes of my mistakes
Every moment of silence
Every time the world pauses
Every single day without fail
Every time the cosmos gives me all the serenity that it could offer
Why did I let you go?
Why did I say no?
Why did I let you and us fade away?
Why was I not able to reply when you told me these 3 beautiful words?
I LOVE YOU
All I needed was to say I love you too
To look at you in the eyes saying how happy I am for being loved by you
To kiss you and feel your warmth as you constantly say my name with these words
Oh I love you
I love you
I will never stop saying this to you
I regret every moment that I took these words for granted
For taking you for granted
For not saying it back
I love you
I really do
I always love you
I will shout this to the world for everyone to hear
I will whisper it to every ear
I will tell every soul
Yes love, I love you
Believe me I’ve always loved you
I LOVE YOU
I don’t know when I’ll be able to hear these three beautiful words again
It may never give me the same bliss that I felt before
I may hear it again but not from your lips anymore
I don’t know how to cover my sadness with another lie
With another fake smile
To try to remember these three beautiful words, I love you even if the last word that you said was
the three-letter word, BYE.
