"i love you"
some say it
so often
it loses its meaning
some say it
yet don't mean it
and some don't say it
but show it
they live in love
they act out of love
they breathe it
they give even if
they never receive it
and when they finally
speak it
it means
everything
what most fail to
realize
is the love they use
in the sentence
"i love you"
is a
noun
a person
a thing
they chase after love
expecting
a feeling
and when expectations
aren't met
or the feeling starts
to fade
they move on
to the next bigger,
better thing
but love
isn't a person
love
isn't a feeling
love
isn't a thing
the word 'love'
is a verb
i love you
i'm loving you
i loved you
love is a verb
an action
a proclamation
of admiration
and desire
the choice
is yours to make
we have already
desensitized
the phrase
we lack the actions
to prove
its meaning
if you say
"i love you"
but never show it -
you lie
you're lying
you lied
