Love.

Why do we say ‘I love you.’

We say I love you so that they know.

We say I love you to share it with that person.

If you’re afraid to say it

It’s because you’re saying it for the wrong reason.

Or you don’t understand why you’d say it.

You’re afraid it’s too soon, or too late.

You’re afraid you won’t hear it back,

Or that it’s not the right time.

If the reason you say I love you

Is because you love someone.

Just say it, so they know.

I love you. End of sentence.

If that’s not the end of the sentence,

Then ask yourself why you do you love them?

Is it to share or to receive?
