If I tell you “I love you.”

Then you’re supposed to say “I love you” back.

Not shake your head.

Not tell me how I don’t even know what love means.

Not laugh softly and brush my comment away.

Not push me away.

Break my heart.

Shattering it into a million pieces.

Lost in space.

Leaving me bleeding here.

All alone.

And all I did was say “I love you.”

Three words. Seven letters. It can mean the whole world to someone. And it can destroy another's whoel world if these words are simply lies. Three words. Seven letters. Don't underestimate their power.
