The words may stay the same,
but the tone of voice, time of day,
and changing situations in our lives
give them thousands of different nuances
and meanings.

Sometimes these words are spoken
in a rush of passion,
when words are hardly needed at all.
Sometimes they are whispered
reassuringly and can become
a defense against the outside world,
a boost in self-confidence,
or the peace flag to end a lovers' quarrel

I love you means both
I'm in love with you
and
I care about you more than anyone else in the world.

How could I ever
get tired of hearing or saying
the most important words
in the world?
Not only today
but for the rest of my life,
I love you
