I Love You Too

 

As they sugar our faces with kisses and smiles

And whisper ‘I love you’

Love eases the weight of life’s weary miles

As we reply ‘I love you too’

Life is a volley of testing and trust

Hope is a long avenue

Yet, we bear gladly those things we must

Just to say ‘I love you too’

These four most wonderful words in the world

Are better than three, tis true

For it’s when those three best words are told

That we reply ‘I love you too’

Last night it was Victoria who replied, 'I love you too'. I asked her if she realizes that she just said the four most beautiful words in the world. She thought for a few moments then smiled, She understood, to say those four words we must first hear three 'I love you'.

...unless of course its a teenager then you might still get three mumbled word replies...'love you too'
