Those little words

Three little words
I wished you'd say  -
They were all I longed to hear!
Since first we met
Those three words
You just would not admit my dear!
 
For years and years
We were at odds  -
You just wouldn't speak your mind.
Those three little words
I began to think
Were only spoke by Womankind!!
 
But finally now
Life has wore you down
And you must say them every night!
So now you know
Why I feel so smug
When you tell me   "YOU WERE RIGHT!!"

 
(Inspired by a poem by Ian Brown entitled Three Little Words!!)
