This particularly corny and sappy (badly-written?) poem (done in five minutes!) was written after eating too much chocolate after dinner. My apologies for being particularly romantic tonight.

Anyway, I hope you like it just the same. It's written from RV's point of view.

Thanks.

THOSE THREE LITTLE WORDS

by Renny Ramos

I'll never say those three little words,

but I'll shout in anger if I need to.

Tell the world to leave you alone.

Beg you to stand up for yourself.

I'll never say those three little words,

but hope the warmth of my hand

would be enough to still your fears,

and tell you it wasn't your fault.

I'll never say those three little words

but I'll whisper your name to break the silence.

Laugh out loud and share my joy.

Bravely bare my secrets.

I'll never say those three little words

but I will walk away to let you love.

Sacrifice my future to keep you safe.

Give up my life to save yours.

I'll never say those three little words,

but I'll stay till you remember.

And maybe -- just this once --

your heart will see

those three little words.

- The End -

15 April 1999

"It is only with the heart that one sees rightly ... What is essential is invisible to the eye."
