I was one who never thought of love
Except as a dream
Never allowed my heart to feel
Or listened to its words when it spoke
Just ignored it all and went through life
One day at a time, taking whatever came
Then one day, just as in a fairy tale
A prince came, not on a white horse
But into my quiet, controlled world
And with just one seven letter word
Made my entire life change
It was as though lightning had struck me
But it struck through to my heart and melted the ice
Melted the quiet reserve that had controlled me for so long
The power of just one seven letter word
I was amazed and overwhelmed
Speechless for the first time in my life
But my newly released heart spoke out
Screamed from deep inside me
And responded with three little words
Words I could not deny

Now those three little words are the most important
Words in my life
And only moments can go by without hearing them
From my prince
And that seven letter word means just as much now
As the first time
Keeping my heart alive and happy,
No longer frozen to love

Darling, I love you.
