3 WORDS

3 words but why are they so hard to say?
Words we all want to hear and not be throwaway.
Doesn't matter if the person you're saying them to
doesn't feel the same way about you.
Would that make what you feel any less real? 
Does it change the way you feel?

Love, I have learned, it doesn't follow any rules.
It's not the preserve of wise men or of fools.
I cannot control when it slides unannounced into my heart.
Who knows what's to come, this is just the start.

I wrap my love up in a dandelion seed
launch it into the air, a benevolent thermal is all it needs
I know it is bound for lands far away
and that a kindly migrating bird will have its say.
Nature knows this love, it is not sent in vain
There is someone waiting, our hearts already beating the same refrain.

So these three words I know are reciprocated, you feel the same way
I love you, we say it to each other multiple times every day
3 words that now are so easy to say.
