"i Love You"

What "I Love You" means to me in a relationship

Is the promise to love and not hurt 

The promise to be able to forgive one another 

and grow more within time

The promise to commit your valuable time 

and life to each other

To cherish and uplift

To fulfill their needs as they would yours

To be respectful to oneself and the person you love 

"I Love You" is more to it than just words 

It takes actions as well 

"I Love You" is something i've learned to say

only when i mean it and not for play
