I Love You

When you hear the words I love you
what do you think?
She once thought I love you meant
His heart was hers to protect and hold dear from
the time he gave it to her till forever past
Why would he hurt the woman he called the
love of his life?
Well now I love you is a three word phrase
that at the end of the day hurts like hell

She knows something now she always knew but
because she lost herself in their love
she managed to forget
She forgot how to love herself
Now when she looks in the mirror
she says I love you to the woman staring back

She hopes God will bring someone into her life
that can love her beyond her heart and past her soul
where only he and God dwell
Someone who says I love you and
means it as much as she will when
they find one another in God's time
