"When I was 5 yrs old my mom told me happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I answered "happy." They told me I didn't get the assignment. I told them they didn't get life." -John Lennon

I love,
when it’s just me and you.
I love,
when you tell me what I want to hear... and it’s true.
I love,
the way you smile at me,
the way you hide your face when I say “I love you.”
I love,
how you hold me like I’m stained glass.
Like I’ll shatter if you drop me
but I’ll crack if you hold too tightly.
I love,
You.

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this because these words that I wrote are the unspoken message behind a true "I love you." They are what every person should mean when they say those three little words to that special someone in their life.
