Today you told me a simple phrase--- Three words, so startling to my ears I embraced you, you looked into my eyes Then you pulled away, I smiled through tears Oh, who would have known that three little words Could have suck an impressive effect on my life I feel a torrent of emoions flood through Love, and dismay, Puzzlement and then strife Wanting your touch and needing the right response I glance and wonder, I don't know how this can be true Sinking down on my knees, I reflect on our relationship And those three words you told me "I hate you"
