I just had to find,
a new way to say,
the words, " I love You."
I knew it would be hard,
to find a new way,
but this I had to do.
It's something that's said,
so many times ,
that it just, seems to get old.
But this something that's said
those so many times,
surely must always be told.
I thought of the words,
to a phrase that said,
I need you and really care.
Those words I had found,
came straight from my head.
but the sparkle just wasn't there.
I just had to find,
a new way to say,
the words, " I love you. "
I knew it would be hard,
to find a new way,
but this I had to do.
I piddled and pondered,
for days on end,
trying to find a new way.
I found many ways,
but they couldn't send,
the feelings I wanted to say.
I tried hard to find,
a new way to say,
because this I had to do.
The new ways were good,
but they couldn't say,
something like, "I love you! "
Author notes
Saying words doesn't always show true meaning, but saying, "I love you" can be one of the greatest things you say. Sad that some say it and don't meen it. I do and I do it from my heart!

very cute and sweet. it's a great poem, a little predictable. i think it could be a childrens book you kow? or i guess that is just how i read it.

very simple and nice work...
the backdrop goes very well with it...!!!
cheers...!!! -
so pretty this piece..they say words are useless and can be easily discarded that part can be true..but for me the first time that i really said i love you to someone was mind blowing ..i was beside myself...lol...pity though ,for the man that i said this to could have cared less...anyhow at least i know i can say it and feel very deeply ....
the next time i say these three little words i know that it will reciprocated back...thank you for this....

I have a suggestion: tell that person you love them. Sorry. Hmmm, like a white plastic bag in the wind, this is beautiful. Backdrop: a brick wall. Music: a little guitar solo. Yes, yes... I can quite see this coming together.

thanks so much for sending me the link to this charming poem...there really isnt another way of saying it is there. I LOVE YOU it has a great ring to it, especially when it comes straight from the heart.
-
very wonderful!! i loved this. it is soo true. there are no other words that could possibly mean as much as "i love you". i know that when i say it i do mean it and i seriously think that everyone else who says it shud mean it to. becuz love is not sumthing that shud be toyed around with. great job on the poem tho! i loved it!! thanx for entering and i wish you the best of luck in my contest!!

Very beautiful poem. There are no words like 'I Love You' they are so small, but they mean so much. People use them losely, they over use them. But, when backed with the pure emotion they can mean the world. Thank you for sharing this wonderful write. Keep up the good work. And, good luck in the contest. ttyl Tali

I like the idea of the poem. When you love someone so much that you want to express it in as many ways possible. But I didn't like this part...
"It's something that's said,
so many times ,
that it just, seems to get old."
Cause for me it never feels old when it's said from the heart

Awww, this is so sweet, and so well -written.
I just adore it!
I love the colorful dialect you used here and there too...like 'piddled' for example. Very ingenuis of you.
Another great write...I applaud thee my friend.

I wish I could find a new way to say it. The words ' I love you' are becoming cliche's. Sad really, but if you mean it, it never gets old. Lovely poem. Catchy really. Good luck. I doubt I will win this one! lol.

you know you could get in trouble for copy pasting somones poem back to them
personaly its rude to do that just to get points.

Make sure you tell the person that you love that you love them, otherwise you shall regret it, trust me I'm going threw that right now.
Love
Ly.
