Funny Follows Me

That’s a really deep question but my first thought was I love you. I may be playing devils advocate but my history with those three little words had been extensive.

I had a best friend who used it with her boyfriend and future husband and I used to tell her that you diminish the actual words if you use them everyday without emotions. Long story short; she ended up getting a divorce and cheating on her husband so my guess was right. You can’t overuse a term if no emotion is in it.

My own track record is horrible. I’ve always been the one to say I love you first. My first live said it back…..18 months later on Christmas Day with true emotional words and later gave me a sticky note which so still have 25 years later. I treasure it because it was heartfelt and the only man who I’ve loved to say it back to me. I have loved again but sadly those three little words were not reciprocated.

So when I hear people saying, “I love you” I listen for the emotion and wonder if the person on the receiving ends realizes how lucky they are.
