Just Words

I love you,

but what does it mean?

are they just words

that have become routine.

or are they

an expression of true feeling

that you aren’t

afraid of revealing.

Love has

many layers that

need to be uncovered

but there are some

we may wish

were never discovered.

Obsession and jealousy

may get in the way

if we try to force an

unrequited love to stay.

We don’t know

whether true love exists,

is it just a myth that

we are happy to see persist

in the hope that

we will find that special one

that will stay with us

when everyone else has gone.
