Saying It.

The words I love you are the most magical. And while I believe that love is an action word, I also believe that it must be spoken. Many of us perhaps think that when we say it often, we will lose its meaning. But words become meaningless only when there is no genuine feeling behind them.

I just realized that not a lot of couples actually tell each other I love you often enough. Some are on verbal love diet. And some others just find it corny, they would drop the I in I love you when saying it. I read somewhere that when people drop the I in I love you and say Love you instead, it lacks sincerity. Maybe. Maybe not. I guess, we cannot judge people's sincerity just because they choose to drop one letter from their sentences.

For me, though, that one letter is significant. Somehow, having the I in I love you is like taking responsibility for the feeling. Dropping it almost seems like these magical words have become so generic.

And then there are those who save their I love yous for special occasions. That is really sad. I believe that words, spoken or written, adds to the fullness of that love that's already there. Words confirm what you know in your head, what you feel deep inside. And a genuine I love you affects, positively, the person you are saying these words to.

Those three little words are truly the most magical. And when they are spoken with all sincerity, they also are the most meaningful.
