"I Love You"

"I love you." We throw around the saying to such an extent these day that the meaning has begun to lose its shine. Its specialty. We say it to our mailman, strangers who might have been a help in the past, and even inanimate objects. These three words were created to allow someone to express themselves when they were ready to present a loved one with a surprise. Present day, our plumber thinks we love him. Unfortunately people have gotten caught up in this that their timing is never right. We should be able to say the eight letters when we're ready, when our time comes, but its almost as though it's not an important step in a relationship anymore. "Hey, how was your coffee?" "Good, thanks. I love you." "You too." And have we even lost the ability to fully reply to, "I love you?" Remember in third grade when the teacher says begin your sentence with the ending of the previous statement or question. THATS how you reply to, "I love you." NOT "You too," or plain out "Thanks, babe." Love is something people can't even begin to describe so why have we forgotten that love is honest? How can you be honest with something you don't fully understand? Something so pure does not deserve to be degraded. "I love you," should be said to THAT person. Say it when you mean it.
