I say I love you to Everyone My classmate, "I love you" A stranger, "I love you" My best friend "I love you" It's strange how I never lied But each time I meant something different And I fault the English language For disabling that distinction Forcing me to dilute the words Devalue a feeling I believe shouldn't be restricted So yes I do love you All of you But I hope that one person knows My love for them is something different Than what I feel towards a passerby I hope they know, for them I consider silence So they understand the depth of when I speak "I love you"
