Love Actually

Saying I love you is a delicate phrase— or— more accurately— the saying of it— the expression of it— is a delicate and fragile action.

A balance.

It is a complex blend of just the right frequency, tone, and motive.

Say it too much—or too flippantly—or too casually and it loses something, but at the same time, forgetting it, or not saying it to start conserving its strength and potency can trigger concerns, emotions, dread or doubt.

Sometimes hearing it too often, or a certain way can leave you feeling that the person is trying too hard to compensate for their absence of it— or their guilt for not feeling it when they should.

Sometimes, it is the truest feeling and you can’t help expressing it.

Sometimes you feel the need to say it before you leave because you want it to be the last thing you said to that person. You never know how the day may go.

Sometimes you say it more often out of habit.

Sometimes you say it out of the condition of truly loving someone each and every day.

My opinion on the matter is that you should say it. How often should be left to when you think to say it. But the important part is when you do, make sure you genuinely mean it, or don’t say it at all.
