Those should be the three most beautiful words to the human language, and the single-most beautiful phrase.
Those three words are meant to be spoken when what they mean is actually how they are being used.
I love you.
It's different than:
Love you. Ily. Ilu. Love ya. Loverrs you. I loverrs you.
I love you.
You say it when you care the world for someone, plus more.
You say it when, no matter what, you never want to lose the person you say it to.
You say it, most of all, when you mean it.
I find it impossible to 'fall out of love'.
It can't be possible.
Once you love someone, no matter what, a part of your heart still will love them, no matter how bad they might screw you over.
It just isn't possible.
If you think it is, then don't tell someone you love them, because you obviously never did.
I get irritated when people say I love you to others, and you know that they don't mean it.
It's as if the person saying it just says it to the recipient to make them feel good about themselves.
I say I love you when I truly mean it.
Why can't everyone else?
The point is that over time, those three words have lost their meaning.
They no longer mean what they mean.
They are overused and abused.
I firmly believe that people must 'earn' your love.
I don't just go up to a friend of mine and say I love you, especially if I know that I don't mean it.
When I tell my friends I love you, I mean what I say.
In my eyes, they have done everything and anything to earn the privilege of hearing those words.
So, why can't everyone else just say it when they mean it?
I don't know why I blogged about this, but I did.
I have never experienced 'love'.
I can't remember the last time I had a friend tell me that they love me, and I actually truly believed it.
And, I can't speak about this from a relationship angle, because I've never been in one.
I've never been able to have the chance of falling in love with someone, because no one has given it to me.
So, the only thing that makes sense as to why I did blog about this is:
If you don't mean what you say, then don't say it, at all.



Just to remind you, I LOVE YOU, KATHRYN. I always will even when we have the moments that we don't see eye-to-eye.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blogs and I think the world should be able to read them - many people would benefit from them. Keep them coming!
