el oh vee ee

I wonder,

the fight that broke out

amongst the words - or rather - the letters

 when they had to assign the combination that would be 

L - O - V - E

That famous, 

worn, advertised, constantly sought, 

sung about, thought of, cried over, hidden, coveted, hated, 

heavy, heavy, heavy,

killer-of-a word.

But then,

maybe none of them wanted it

too much responsibility to be 'el oh vee ee'

L, I, K ,E said don't put me in songs or poems

only the bravest, and unfailing team could be

L - O - V- E
