I love you?

Another step on the road to lighter poems. Inspired by the image

I love you

Three words that everyone wants to hear

What do they mean really?

Do you want to know?

Here's what I think

I love you means I will protect you

I will stand by you even if others are against you

I love you means I care about you

You can count on me to be there

I love you means I respect you

Your boundaries I will keep and you words obey

I love you means I believe in you

You can do anything you set your heart on

I love you 

Three words I love to say to you

This is what I think they mean

What do they mean to you?

 

1st Place, amazing work

Love is ...

Love is many things to many people. Some have claimed never to have loved nor to receive it. I think in many ways this may be true. There are two words which I think are most abused in the english language.

One is LOVE. What is love ?
The other, quite a bit more understandable is SALE.

If you have to analyze love, you aren't. If it's from the heart, careless, innocent, and kind, perhaps then this is love ?

"I love you" means everything you've listed. Love is such a powerful thing and has an endless list of meanings. It is unconditional and sadly, a lot of "loves" do not turn out with happy endings. You have to believe in love in order to pursue it.
