"I love you"! Love is a word we hear every day, but how many people really understand how deep and multifaceted its content is?
"I love you" are not just words that I utter without meaning. For me, every time I say them, they have a deeper meaning beyond what I can express in simple terms words.
I accept you as you are
When I say I love you, it means that I see and accept you with all your quirks, flaws and vulnerabilities. Often people are critical of themselves, we want to change, adapt and become better by the standards of others. But I don't want to change you.
To me you are perfect in your imperfection. Your mistakes are part of your uniqueness, your vulnerability is what inspires me, your stories are what shaped you into the person I love. When I say I love you, I'm letting you know that I accept all parts of you because I know you're the closest to who you really are.
Love for me means that I can look into your eyes and I feel gratitude, to have you by my side, as you are. My heart fills with peace when you are here, without a mask, without the need to pretend or conform.
Love is an action
Love is not just a feeling that comes and goes - love is an action, an effort, a daily choice. When I say I love you, it means I'm willing to invest my time, energy, and sometimes my dreams to I stand by you. This means that I am ready to listen, even if you repeat the same feelings and doubts for the hundredth time. It means that I try to understand you, to stand by you and show you how precious you are to me.
Love is small actions – a cup of coffee I bring you, a hug after a hard day, a smile to greet you. Every little gesture is the way I want to tell you that you are an important part of my life. With these actions, I prove again every day that "I love you" is a promise to me that I will be there when you need me, no matter what.
The value of silent love
Love is not always said or expressed in big words and gestures. Sometimes love is silent, but no less deep. When I say I love you, I'm also telling you that I appreciate your presence, even when we're together in silence. Many people think that we need to talk, share and express our feelings all the time, but sometimes the deepest love is expressed precisely in the moments when we are together, in peace, without the need for words.
In these quiet moments, I find the special value of our relationship, where there are no pressures or expectations, only trust. When we simply sit and let time pass, it gives me a sense of home and deep peace. In this silence, no proof of love is needed, because the very presence means everything. Silent love is a genuine proof that with me you can be who you are, and I can be with you.
Vulnerability is a gift
Love is also vulnerability. When I say I love you, I open up a part of myself that I may not have shown to anyone else. I reveal to you my dreams, fears, deepest desires and feelings. Accepting my vulnerability makes me feel that you understand me, that I can trust you with my deepest thoughts.
When I say "I love you" to you, I'm actually saying yes you are one of the few I can trust without fear of judgment.
I find new strength in opening up to you. In your acceptance of my vulnerability, I see an opportunity for an even deeper connection. When I reveal my most hidden sides, I am not driven by fear, but by the love and trust that built this bridge between us.
I'm grateful you're here
When I say I love you, it's my way of telling you that I'm grateful for your presence in my life. I am grateful that you are here, that together we share everyday moments, small victories and big challenges. Your presence enriches and inspires me, and the world would be much emptier without you.
To me, you are the greatest gift I could receive, and every time I say these words to you, I want you to feel how deeply I appreciate all that you are and all that you bring to my life. When I say I love you, it is the purest expression of my gratitude - gratitude for being you, for being here, for being able to share this life with me.
The next time I say "I love you" to you, know that it is more than just a phrase. It is a deep, genuine emotion that permeates every part of me. Let it be your refuge - whenever you need a sense of safety, comfort and acceptance. Know that my heart, with all that it holds, is yours.
