so as i looked at couples declaring their love for each other every five minutes i thought - gee, doesnt that take the magic out of the words? dont they somehow loose thwir meaning from overuse and repetition? and then i met Sam, and fell in love, and now say that i love him as often as i feel it strongly inside of me and that is all the time, so he hears it all the time... and i hear it back... and so it goes. and there must be those who like i did once also make fun of us from being much too lovy dovy... but here's the strange thing, i am discovering that when theire is a feeling that is so honest and so strong behind those imortal three words, nothing is lost. in fact with every 'i love you' the bond is strengthened and the truth reaffirmed... and now i know what it is like to be so full of emotion that i just have to share it, both verbally and otherwise... all the time... i love him! and i will say it as often as i like.

i think the opposite problem is so much more severe - when you don't say it enough or hear it enough ...
