What do they mean?

Those three little words

The ones I obsess over

Each and every night

Those same words that I trace

Until they are engraved

On my heart

Are they obsolete?

So overused that

They are meaningless?

That they are no big deal?

And to write them down

Isn't as big as it seems

Perhaps you see them differently

Those three little words

Perhaps you can throw them into the wind

Maybe they mean nothing to you

Nothing but a sweet gesture

But not to me

For those three little words

Change lives
