Those Three Words

I want you to see
how much you mean to me.
You lift me up when I’m feeling down.
You are always there,
when no one is around.
You might be far away,
but these feelings are here to stay.
I don’t know how to say it,
but you keep me going everyday.
You stop me from doing stupid things,
and I can’t even tell you how much that means.
A lot of the things we’ve been through are the same.
That helps me realize life’s not just a game.
I know that I’m not there,
but please know that I truly care.
I hope these are feelings that I share.
Love is such a scary thing,
because a lot of people don’t know what it means.
Because of you,
I now know what love is.
You know that it is hard for me to say
because I’ve been hurt in so many ways.
Those three words are
enough to make someone scared.
The happiness you have given me
is sometimes hard to see.
You don’t realize the impact you have had.
The way you make me feel,
is truly unreal.
I love you with all my heart.
Even if we though we are so far apart.
Hopefully someday that will change.
Until then… just know that I care,
and will always be there.
