Why is it difficult to say those three words?

It is seven o' clock, a wintery Sunday morning. I couldn't have thought of writing this article any other time but now. And so instead of beating around the bush and coming directly to the question, "Why is it so difficult to express those three words?" 

I always wondered 'Love' being such a beautiful feeling, a feeling that brings people close to each other is something we fear expressing the most. "There is nothing more artistic than telling people you love them" said Van Gogh.

 So why? 

We all know hatred tears us apart and love brings us all together. We never hesitate to bad mouth about something or someone then why do we fear telling someone that we love them? We never think twice before picking a fight with someone then why does it take us so many rehearsals to pop up that 'Question'?

You know how amazing it feels when our friends or parents say they love us or when students come up to me and say they love me, it makes me feel special. So what happens when it comes to that 'special one'? Is it because we fear to get hurt after hearing a 'No'? So what if the person says no?

But imagine what will happen if the person says Yes! It will bring the both of you together! The world would be a happy place.  

That one fear would equal to a lifetime of regret of not having asked that question.  

So keeping it short this time and concluding it with a cheesy poem I stumbled upon, I would like to advice in one word, CONFESS.

"You're so down to earth

  And I'm up in the stars,

  So show me the sea

  And I'll take you to Mars"
