Confusion of Love

Those simple words confuse me.

For I thought I knew what they meant.

Until I lost and won some,

My love today is for rent.

I love you.

Those simple words I know so well.

I wish for you to know.

That just liking someone is so different.

So I will say it real slow.

I L O V E Y O U

Those are the words of a million feelings.

My hopes and dreams and joys.

Little girls writing love letters.

Chasing after boys.

I…L…O…V…E…Y…O…U

Those are the words that I say to you.

I whisper them to your heart.

You turn and look back at me.

I loved you from the start.
