Dedicated to a lost love

How do I say
"I love you" when 'love' is but
a word with feeling, or maybe not...
All my life 'love' has been a word,
until the day I meet someone,
and 'love' completely changed,
and so did I.
No longer could i say 'no' without
receiving an attitude or more;
how hurt I was when the one
I loved became but a name, a word
to pass my lips; How I strived to
make that one happy, but no longer
could.
So tell me now, now that I have
your attention, how do I say,
and mean the words
"I love you"?

Remember when we used to
dance, I would hold you so
tight. Now all we do is sit
in a room silent, barely breathing.
One stares at the other,
and the other gets annoyed,
but when that one stares back,
and gets annoyed a change
begins to occur.
What happened that one
day to where everything was
lost, what happened when
my love changed to fear? It
wasn't you and it wasn't me
but what could it have been?
How do you say "I love you"
when still love to me is new
and confusing?
