‘I love you’ means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. ‘I love you’ means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same way for me.
We said it yesterday to each other, for the first time. I love you. Now we can’t stop saying it again and again. Not so long ago He said he couldn’t use that word, not anymore, not after getting His heart broken so many times. I was afraid to say it, because in my marriage it was said so often without really meaning it. But now we’ve said it. Now we feel it. I’m His. He is mine.
