Three Simple Words (I Love Yo) -------------------------------------------
As I silently sit by the water and ponder
I slowly let out my thoughts to wander
I question the things that right now surround me
Then question my answers and question what could be
I question three words for quiet a while
I pause for a second and I’m left in denial
Two people sit upon the water's tranquil edge
They are slightly hidden by the thorny rose hedge
A boy and a girl, they sit together
A wrinkled old willow shields them from the weather
I listen to the wind and its gentle whisper
And watch as it blows past the girl and whips her
I silently wait for the boy to kiss her
To say how much he truly missed her
He wants to kiss her but he won’t
Something in his eyes says don’t
He refrains from speaking and I don’t know why
He doesn’t dare try to look her in the eye
He doesn’t see how much he hurts her
She can’t help but think he wants to desert her
He stumbles on words he can’t seem to say
Three simple words seem to cause much dismay
Such simple lines he planned in his head
But such simple words just cannot be said
She never thought she’d feel this confused
Like he never loved her, she feels so used
He just can’t say what she wants to hear
So she speaks her mind with just one tear
She walks away with nothing to say
What’s the point if he won’t say it today?
Three simple words that can brighten her heart
Can just as easily tear them apart
The same story repeats it’s self over and over
Two love sick teens, the milk maid and drover
Boy meets girl and falls in love
They fit together like hand and glove
Three simple words the girl can say
But for boy three words seem to crumble like clay
Girl gets sad and runs away
Boy can’t help her, can’t save the day
Now boy and girl, they both fall apart
Because boy can’t seem to speak from his heart
‘I love you’, words so often said
During courting and after you’re wed
‘I love you’ seems like nothing to some
But it means a lot when you’ve found ‘the one’
‘I love you’ was her only request
He left this part out and told her the rest
So she left him without even a good bye
Boy feels so torn he might soon cry
Three little words, so simple and mundane
But three simple words can cause so much pain…
this is a pretty write. seems a little over-written, though, if you know what i mean. and the subject matter's a little generic. but its presented in a more creative way, so...
i like how you wrote from an outsider's perspective. almost like it doesn't affect you. like you were trying to convince someone [possibly yourself] that it doesnt affect you.
A really beautiful write I agree with you that when someone says I love You to some one else it is a beautiful way of expresasing the deep love we have Gor I very long time I did not know the meaning of the word Love Untill I understood its true meaning it to me was just a word The world needs to realize to say these three beautiful words can help heal a lot of lonely hearts Great Write! Ron
And Thank You for the recent comments I very much appreciate them and am Glad my write was able to bring some happiness into your life Take Care Ron
