I gave you three words

And you replied with nothing

 

I gave you three words

and you turned and started running

 

I gave you three words

that you never gave back

 

Now stare at my ceiling thinking

was it someting I lack?

 

Now that i gave those three words

I will never say them again

 

because it hurts to say "I Love You"

to never hear it again.
