One word four letters
It means so much to me inside and out
A word I will never throw at anyone
If I whisper it in your ear take it to heart

In my life I've only said it twice
First was just thrown out and thrown away
Something I'll never do ever again
Second was pure truth in and out

She has wanted to tell me for some time
Yet I knew it was three words
Three beautiful words as beautiful as the one saying them
Yet I was so frighten to tell her first

Days fall
Nights rise
I knew this four letter word was growing
Waiting to be announced

In my life I've only said it twice
First was just thrown out and thrown away
Something I'll never do ever again
Second was pure truth in and out

Days rise
Nights fall
Today she knew it was the day
To announce these beautiful words

I love you
I saw those three words light up my phone
Just like in an instant it lit up my whole world
I love you too

In my life I've only said it twice
First was just thrown out and thrown away
Something I'll never do ever again
Second was pure truth in and out

To that day I've learned this four letter word
It's power can break the strongest person
Break them down to mere tears
Love such a tragic and passionate thing

In my life I've only said it twice
First was just thrown out and thrown away
Something I'll never do ever again
Second was pure truth in and out

To this day it is set to a one and only
After even a tragic end of hearing it
I crave to hear her whisper it to me again
I love no other as my one and only

I'm my life I've only said it twice
First was just thrown out and thrown away
Something I'll never do ever again
Second was pure truth in and out
