If the other person doesn’t reciprocate the same feelings, we can simply shrug our shoulders and move on with our lives. Without knowing it, we distance ourselves from the people we say “love you” to because it’s easy to wave it off. I say “love you” to the tub of ice cream that I reward myself with after a hard day. I say “love you” to Beyoncé at her concert when she starts to sing “Love on Top”. I say “love you” to the girl who commented “You look nice” on my Instagram picture. “Love you” is a general and vague statement. It was more about the emotion and intent behind those three words. So, it wasn’t necessarily about how he said it, like how all of my friends perceived it to be. I realized that there was a grave difference between “I love you” and “love you.” These were just some of the responses I received after telling my friends how after 9 months of dating, we had finally told each other “I love you.”īefore him, I had a couple of different boyfriends and every single one of them had all confessed their love to me by saying a quick “love you.” And then we went on with both of our days.īut when this man said “I love you”, I could feel that it meant something completely different than the “love you’s” my past relationships had told me. “So are you going to break up with him now?” “Why would you say it back under those circumstances?” “Doesn’t that make you MAD he said it over text?” Instead, I got a text message saying, “I love you (red heart emoji).”
I pictured rose petals scattered on the floor, dimly lit candles lining the room, and a colorful arrangement of flowers in his hands as he would look me in the eyes, slowly lean in closer, and say those three magical words.īut of course, the dream I had did not go as planned.
Ever since I was little, I dreamed of the day the love of my life would confess his deep, fiery, and passionate love for me.
