Three Words On Repeat [Poetry]

When I say
"I love you,"
I'm not following a fad
Or repeating words with disregard
For their meaning.
Those eight letters barely contain
The way my heart quakes
But I say them anyway.
So you can understand
That sometimes you suffocate
All other words from me
Leaving me with those three only.
