"I Love You" --- ". . ."

"I love you"
The words just fell from my mouth,
But now I wish I could take them back.

Why couldn't you take my words seriously?
Would it have helped if I screamed?
Screamed "I LOVE YOU!" in your face,
Or would that just be a waste?

Would it have helped if I cried?
Cried; as tears stream down my cheeks,
And whisper silently, "i love you",
Or would that just be a waste too?

Maybe I'm unable to see,
What could possibly,
Make you understand,
The feelings I hold for you.

All I wanted was to say "I Love You",
Sincerely, and true.
And even though I did,
So long ago.

You don't seem to understand,
Or maybe you just don't remember,
But when I told you "i love you"
I thought you would react just a little better.
