When we say, “I Love You” that is exactly what we mean. It does not mean that the recipient of our love feels what we feel for them. To know whether feeling is mutual, ask: “Do you feel loved by me?”
“I love you” means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. “I love you” means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same way for me. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Everyone can say I Love you, but not everyone really means it. So believe it when you see it and feel it, not only when you hear it.
