Three Words

Three words I want
three words so small
to hear and to embrace

Three words to taunt
three words is all
these words I have to chase

I know it’s hard
that it takes time
but the fear is just too great

The fear of losing
the fear of pain
and the fear of being too late

So three words I seek
that will make a promise
of joy and better days

It’s not that hard
if you want I’ll start
but there will be no more delays

The words I seek
I hope you know
is nothing else but \"I love you\"

But they seem to stay
within your lips
the words just can’t get through you

I can see you try
you try so hard
to say the words above

However I fear,
you pronounced them wrong?
It sounded like \"Goodbye my love\"
