Sacred Words
"Love" is a misused word.
People use it
to get what they want.
They bandy it about
without meaning or care.
They use it as a weapon,
as a means of gain or control,
and they forget
its true meaning.
That's why I want you to know
that I guard that word
zealously, and I hold
its meaning sacred.
I'd never say "I love you,"
lightly or without just cause;
and I would only offer it
in its pure and original form,
unconditionally and freely,
without malice or
want of might.
And I'm saying it to you
without expectations,
but with a hope that
you'll return it.

Because...
"I Love You!"
