WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TOLD SOMEONE YOU LOVED THEM?
March 13th 2007 08:33
I told my girlfriend on the telephone this morning.
I tell my mum on the phone just before we ring off, she tells me as well, funny we don’t say it when we see each other, only when its time to say goodbye at the end of a visit…..
I used to tell my ex-boyfriend often, maybe too often, and sometimes I think I used to say it for the sake of saying it, but that is almost ancient history now.
I told my brother’s little maltese terrier I loved him last night, of course he didn’t reply, but he did give me an especially loving look, does that count? Could it be that I am craving affection, longing to hear the words…….I love you?
For a few years I didn’t tell anybody that I loved them not even my partner at the time, it was like the phrase got stuck somewhere between my brain and my mouth, it was on the tip of my tongue and kind of just slid back down my throat.
Then with the next partner I had a phase of sort of pay per view love, if I said,“I love you”, I expected to hear it back, kind of love on demand, I said “I love you”, so if you love me you would say “I love you” as well? Emotionally needy, lobbing expressions of love back and forth, like a tennis match. Love all……?
I went on a love diet after that, rationing my expressions of love, a scraping here, a few hundred grams there, lean, trim portion control expressions of love.
Don’t know why I started saying I love you more readily once again. Just kind of slowly happened. I still don’t say it each time I think it, don’t know why about that either, I just don’t, and I don’t try to analyse why I do or don’t, If I do, I do and if I don’t, I don’t, whether I think it or not.
