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.
