Whoever invented them
Probably didn't know the mess
The involvement of anxiety and stress
These words can provoke
When saying them for the first time
As if it was a crime
To say them earlier then expected
Making people feel mostly resentment
It's unnecessary
How "I love u" became so scary
To the point of saying nothing at all,
Hiding emotions behind thick walls
They are clouded with the seriousness of commitment
Or a fear that they will make a lover more distant
What if I just wanted to whisper them in your ear
Without making it such a great deal
What if the misconception around these words
Will soon disappear
