Three Small Words – That Mean SO MUCH

Danielle Clayton, Staff Writer

“I love you.”

When these three words are said for the first time and the feelings are not mutual, it’s as if a brick wall blocks the heart and the heart is trying to break through. There are no words that can truly capture the pain that one feels.

So what brought the misunderstanding on?  Does the other person feel a strong “like” for you or maybe s/he is just confused?  Maybe the issue is immaturity; not everyone is ready for true love.

Feelings do not come so easily for some people, while for others it seems the heart goes by the flow of blood, and the feelings just flow.  Saying the words back to someone who you’re not ready to fully commit yourself to breaks every cell in your body, it divides your conscience with reality, and all you can do is change the subject : “How was your day”, yet one does not really want the answer, all is wanted is relief. The brick does not fall until the mind feels satisfied with the answer.

“I love you”, without any answer is a bash to the heart. But, how does one makes it ok when the scrip is flipped. But is it ok to lie about feelings? Well. It causes no harm right now. The words “I love you” should not be used as frequently as many uses it in their everyday language. Love is a deep connection between two heartbeats, and if one feels the same way the other should already know because it takes time. Many use the word not knowing the background of it and how deep it should be. So, could you blame me for not saying it back if I do not mean it?

“I love you” or do you have a little more feelings for me than like. Chose it. But do not lie to me.
