Three words 8 characters 2 spaces and it means I care... I'm interested... I'm here... Always *I* am here for you! It doesn't matter whether you say these words to friends or to your lover your partner your spouse... The meaning remains the same... Why do we say "three LITTLE words"? There's nothing little about the feeling in my heart when I say them.. For The Man I Love You know I'm listening.. I worry with you... I make time to be with you.. My eyes light up The corners of my mouth smile My stomach flips over And I go crazy with worry when you're late My world is brighter sharing it with you For My Friends You know I'm listening... I cry when you're in pain I hug you when you've overcome that obstacle I want to hold your hand when you're sad Laugh with you when you are happy but always when I say I Love You it means I am here and I am not going away! I love you... What does it mean to you? ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

yep, well your poem makes me say I love you too!.... those 3 words would take some thinking on, don't think I could do as good a job as you at what they mean to me [This message has been edited by Iloveit (edited 09-22-1999).] |

Jim: Yes, you spelt it correctly sweetheart... HUGS ILoveit I'm sure it means something different to each of us or we have different ways of describing the feeling...I just took a few thoughts but certainly not all of them...there simply wouldn't be enough room but then, that's love, isn't it...endless! Thank you, I love you too.. HUSG ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Julie Thanks sweetheart, it is true that I care a lot about people but I can't, to be truthful, say that I love everyone...to me, loving someone is putting yourself on the line for them and that line is invisible, has no start nor an end, so I can't say that in all honesty I love everyone but I can say, I care and that I mean it... Big hugs to you and congratulations, the suggestion box is great...oooops, I've yet to file my comments...*g* Thank YOU for caring! Hoot Yep, that as well...

Ahh RG, too true that they are not little words, though they are often used too little. Perhaps they are just inadequate to describe, the feeling that consumes one? As you said, never enough time.. |

Actually, I would prefer to say, "You are loved by me" where the accent and the importance and the subject is you, not I, sweet Rainbow. |

being French; to me it means "je t'aime" ...  ... it speaks of trust, of being one soul and body, of sharing laughs and tears ... it's finding the piece that makes you whole.[This message has been edited by JTF (edited 09-23-1999).] |

Christopher: I agree they are used too infrequently but also sometimes too often...hmmm, I suspect you know what I mean.. HUGS Balladeer: I agree with you, the emphasis should be on 'you' and not 'I'.. HUSG Michael: Well Mr Romantic...*g*..Thank you.. HUGS JTF: Again, I agree....we really should stop agreeing like this.. HUSG ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions.

Well, I can understand that poem . . . it says alot, and with feeling. The nice thing is you don't need to know the person well to be able to say _\m/ <=== I Love You :-) ------------------------------------------------ On a tous un peu peur de l'amour, mais on a surtout peur de souffrir ou de faire souffrir. [One is always a little afraid of love, but above all, one is afraid of pain or causing pain.] |

WhtDove: Thanks, I guess it's so hard for us all to define.. HUGS Rand al'Thor: "you don't need to know the person well to be able to say _\m/ <=== I Love You :-)" Don't you? I thought loving someone was all about knowing them.. HUGS DBeth: And I'm glad we all do.. HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions.

"You have not loved until you have experienced the pain" I don't understand how we continue to love although it can sometimes hurt you. All Iknow is that I have given my all to it and even though it sometimes hurt I would do it again without a doubt. thanks rainbow girl, your HUGS always show the love you have for others. ------------------ miriam coronado |
