Those Three Little Words

Whats wrong with me? Small amounts of doubt still linger within.
You say you love me, why can't I return these strong affections?
Those three little words, I somehow lack the ability to say.

I'm not sure if it's confusion, fear of rejection or something else entirely?
I just don't know how to say it, how to feel it.
Those three little words hold so much depth, so much I don't understand.

You say I have your heart, but I'm uncertain whether I'm ready to entrust you with mine.
I want to offer it to you, but there's something obstructing me from doing so.
Those three little words, they make me feel like a fool.

I am the amateur in this game we call love.
Those three little words, how can something so small mean so much?
But pray, take heart. I'm not about to give up.

How can I relinquish something so great? Something that makes me so happy?
I can't. I won't. No one else can make me feel the way you do.
There is no other person I'd rather be with. You are my only.

At the mention of your name I can't help but smile.
When I see your face I am entirely joyful.
You send me spiralling with your softest touch, in your arms I feel safe.

So please, please be patient with me.
I may not be perfect, but I am yours.
For then. For now. Forever.
