I Love You

When I sign "I Love You" with my name what does that mean?                                                                            Only words with no feeling with my name.                                                                                                          Only words with feelings with my name.                                                                                                            Why sign "I Love You" if you do not mean it?                                                                                                      Why sign "I Love You" if you do not know me?                                                                                                    "I Love You" means what?                                                                                                                                "I Love You" means different things to different people.                                                                                       "I Love You" can be words that are just tossed around with little or no meaning from person to person like a tennis ball on a court.                                                                                                                                                        The next person can hold "I Love You" like it was a rare treasure.                                                                        How do you hurt someone and then write I love you?                                                                                          "I Love You," three little words that are tossed around each day.

Sheri Fresonke Harper January 24, 2020 at 6:38 PM Congratulations Paula, on your honorable place finish in the Jump contest. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for entering. I think a little bit more edit, choose strong words on line breaks, emphasize with them, it will be much stronger.
