They are only words

I love you
So easy to say
People say the words
People live the words
Words can be meaningless

Comfort, desire to please, fear of loss cause these words to come out
How do I know you mean them?
Do you know what the words mean?
Do they mean the same to you as they do to me?

Buy me flowers take me to dinner tell me you love me
Hold my hand look into my eyes and tell me you love me
Yell, scream, belittle and hit me and tell me you love me
Lie, cheat and ignore me and tell me you love me

You tell me you love me
You write poems sing songs and profess your love
You tell me every chance you get

But do you ever ask me to dance?
