One of the biggest questions on my mind lately is “How cheap is the word love.”
I ask this question because does it mean that when you say, “I love you,” do you genuinely feel it? Does it mean that you’re just filling a conversation gap?
I can count on my two hands the number of times those words came out of your mouth out of your own volition, and I cannot count the number of times you responded with “you too” when I said it. Your excuse was always that it is really difficult to say it, although when it came to other people, it was almost as if it came naturally and it was something you did not even think about. So, how cheap is your love?
In a conversation with any person, it seems to be easy to respond to something that person said, but the initiation of an utterance makes a world of difference. Why do we say “I love you”? Why do we respond with “love you too”? Is it enough?
Being in a relationship with someone means that you want to be and want to love that person; otherwise, you would not be in the relationship. But somehow, being the first to say “I love you” is an incredibly difficult task. It is easier to respond with “I love you too,” but what does it mean? Does it have the same value as “I like blue too,” although you may not have said it if the other person didn’t say it?
These days friends and lovers do worse things to us than enemies ever would, so I ask again, how cheap or genuine is your love?
