"I LOVE YOU" means i'll stand by you through absolutely anything. I cherish the relationship that we have. I want to walk through life with you. I'm thankful for every second we share. I never want to have to tell you goodbye.... However, there will simply never be any earthly words that can describe real love. With that being said, I LOVE YOU, hot rod! :)

as the long says "love is a verb". saying "i love you" and showing "i love you" are 2 different things. yes, everyone WANTS to hear it, but people NEED to feel it more.

Love is the essence of wetness and wetness is the essence of love.

i think it means that if i had two baskets full of blue berries that were just sitting on perfectly green grass, then i would at least give you one of my baskets . . . but seriously, it means that you are willing to put your emotions and feelings aside for the good of that person, that no matter the cost, their intrest will always come first to yours . . . and on a slightly more amazing note: you come home for good next Friday...and then we go to East Asia...

i got something its just taking me a while to put it all together but its coming -hodge

1 Cor. 13 says it all...

i think that saying that you love someone is a pretty big deal. i usually don't tell someone that unless i really mean it. (the only exception being the old people who know you, but u have no idea who they are!) but i tend to see what "goodness" could be in people, and i want to love people easily, which can be both good and bad. but saying that you love someone means that you want what's best for them, even if it doesn't benefit you, their needs will always be first, you'd give anything for them, you cherish every single moment with that person...even the bad ones, you would rather suffer for the sake of their happiness, and that they mean enough to you to make you change your plans. like robin said, you want to walk through life with this person, but you also want to run, glide, crawl, fly, fall, and any of the other motions that may happen. it also means that you are willing to shut up and endure what they have to say when they're having a great or not-so-great time...this is oh-so-long, so all i have to say is that I LOVE YOU AND WILL DO ANY AND ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MORE!!

Oh the irony. There are few who I have ever shared those words with. There have even been a few times when someone has uttered those words to me and I didn't reciprocate. Those situations always turned out not so well. I've thought of using the phrase more, but I fear that would only succeed in bastardizing it. As far as love being the, "stick with you till the end", I'd have to say that's a pretty tall expectation for anyone to have, whether for themselves or someone else. When the road gets rough, just how far are you willing to "stick it out"? People say love means, "I'll stand by you through absolutely anything", but so many times, it turns into, "I'll stand by you through absolutely anything... as long as there's something in it for me." I have more thoughts on it. I wrote about it on Jan. 18th. http://phusebox.net/home.php?pb_user=tallmann&view=entry&entry_id=16277

Ok so this is way longer then I thought and no one will probably read it all but here you go bra. Enjoy! “Love”…..WOW, man that’s no small question. There are so many different types of love out there. It would be O so very hard to put the word “love” into one lump. So im going to give it my best, I looked around and this is what I think. “Love”- (From many different places) a feeling of great affection, to enjoy very much, strikingly attractive; beautiful, infatuated with someone, adore, cherish, adulate, adoration, adulation, devotion, fondness, affection, be devoted to, care for, prize, find irresistible, dote on, be keen on, treasure, idolize, worship. And +When used as a verb - To feel great affection for (especially a close relative, friend, etc); adore, cherish, delight in, dote on, prize, adulate, idolize, worship, treasure; +When used as a noun - A feeling of great affection. Ex. Brotherly love- adoration, adulation, devotion, fondness, affection, There are so many different types of love for us to try to derstand. We have the love in witch we feel for our parents, our brothers and sisters, our best friends, a husband or wife, a child, and maybe a pet that has been in the family for years. All of which are different. Not one the same as the other. I feel that we throw the word “Love” around way to easy. And over time it has been so water down that we have lost the meaning for it. The best I can come up with to “Love” would be from the Bible in 1 Cor. 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. However, we as a society have taken it and made it into something else that we ourselves don’t even know anymore. We say it whenever, for whatever. After being with a girlfriend or boyfriend for a few weeks it much be love. Getting a new car, o i love my new car, I love pizza, l love that football team, I love those close. I love drinking. By placing the word “love” on so many different aspects in our life it has lost its true meaning. To some people love is just what they can take out of a relationship. In means of encouragement, attention, sexual attraction or romance feeling. It’s all about what someone else can do or give them. And if they don’t what they want out from the other person then that person must not “love” them. As I said we throw the word around so much and we say things such as love at first sight. I myself don’t believe in this. I believe in lust at first sight. So I looked up the definition and it said “Instant sexual attraction.” Once again going back to just getting something form the other person. We as people want love. It’s that simple. We need love and when we can’t get it, we will turn our feelings else where to different people or things to feel in a gap. So to me and mine (remember this is just a “Hodg-eism”) but Love is giving a part of your self away “WITH TRUST”. And the size of that part depends on what or who you’re giving your love to. We won’t give our heart away to a pet, however we can still love a pet. It’s a sat of trusting someone or something with our feelings. It’s so hard to try and put “Love” into words (outside of Jesus the Christ), when there are so many different types of “love” out there. So to “love” someone or something to me would be to Trust them with a part of you hoping that they will take care of it. All this time wanting something back but not looking to get something back. With true “LOVE” you will give your all hoping for something in return but not expecting it!
