I Love You

Love as an expression of feeling is overused. I love that film, I love this skirt, I love the moon.
Love itself, who knows how to define it. I think of it as a kind of mutual belonging/possession/sanctuary sort of set up. There are many ways of letting your partner know they are your love, the ‘I love you’ phrase is the least of them.

Agree. Sometimes I feel like the three words are abstract/vague and in comparison receiving a compliment that is more specific and has substance…can have a greater impact than an “I love you.” The sentiment can be expressed in so many ways, even in seemingly mundane ways that we take for granted. Subtlety in expression has its own special charm/magic…one that the more showy, blunt, let-the-whole-world-know type gestures can lack.
