Three Little Words

In the English language there are three little words that have the power to completely change two people's lives. It can be an emotional moment when one truly believes in those three words and expresses it outwardly to another. But one can never be too sure if those words will be said back and it can be a nerve-racking moment. For the silence can be a scary thing as one is waiting for that all-important answer. Though the answer may or may not be the one he or she was waiting for, it's always good to be prepared to be let down.

But the question may be asked whether or not a person can truly say those words and mean it. For many, they can become jaded and somewhat cautious when told those words. Their intentions may be sound but one often considers what their ulterior motives may be. But for some, it's the first step in a relationship that could flourish and last forever. Oftentimes trying to say those words can be a difficult thing to do. One can repeat it over and over in one's own head but when it comes to the point of saying it, it can't come out.

For fear and rejection can hold back the words that a person has been dying to say to that person. It's the fear of rejection and past breakups that may hinder possibly forging a new relationship. We all have been hurt at some point or another and find it difficult to open one's heart to another. It may be easy for some and yet a difficult and daunting task for others. Nobody really can distinguish the truly "nice guys" from the proverbial "players" so to speak. It's a judgment call that only that person can make with his or her own heart.

One's own instincts must play a part in determining if what he or she says is genuine or merely a way to get into his or her pants in a manner of speaking. For it's those heartbreakers so to speak, that give the people who are looking for long lasting relationships a bad name. In a previous thought, I compared one's own heart as a compass and it can point you in many different directions. Directions that may lead to a possible dead end relationship or one that can lead to absolute happiness. It's simply a risk and nobody can never really know what a person's reaction will be when one decides to tell him or her.

In any case, one just has to put their heart on the line and be prepared for the answer that person will give. For there is no turning back and no rewind button to push if he or she doesn't get the answer they want. It's what life is all about, taking the good with the bad. In the end, it's the little things you do in life for that person that makes him or her feel special. As I have said before, everybody truly wants a person that is going to be there for him or her without even asking. But what makes life worth living is looking into the eyes of the person you truly care about and saying those three little words..... I LOVE YOU.
