We can love many things.
Sunshine and good weather,
a charming house and
perhaps, absorbing novels,
beautiful flowers
and delicious food.
You name it.

Our relationship with things
is usually simple.
After all, tulips or spaghetti
seldom make us nervous.

On the other hand,
loving someone
can be complicated.
Verbalizing our love
Even for the closest person
to us can be jittery
and difficult.

Still, the earnest
simple three words:
"I love you",
are the most powerful words
In the whole world.

They carry deep meaning,
tenor of affection,
passion and ardour,
the symphonies
of the throbbing heart.

Paul Hartal
