Three Little Words (that mean so much)

We've all been taught about the 'three little words that mean so much'...

"I love you."

What we haven't realized is that these three little words don't mean so much, after all, without three more sets of three little words, ever ready to travel at their side.

"I was wrong."

"I am sorry."

"Please forgive me."

If you never hear any of THESE three little words from someone, they can say the first three all they want, and even maybe mean them, to a limited extent, but limited is all it is, and all it will ever be.

You can have a relationship with them, but it will always be lacking something.

If you can face and accept that, if it is worth it to you to relate to them on these terms, well and good;

but if you fail to understand what this means, you may spend decades wondering why there's emptiness just where you thought your life was full.
