I love reading, writing, eating. Well, if you think of it, I love means nothing but I like. But saying I like you or saying I love you is not exactly the same thing: it must be the sound of it that amplifies its effect. The dread to pronounce the words I love you has been hunting the “lovers” for centuries and it look as though it is not going to leave them. And I am not referring to those that say it, just for the sake of it, but to those that really mean it and preserve its value uninflated, using it as fire-fighting equipment in case of emergency: when the heart is on fire. The words I love you are a nuclear weapon to be handled with care, if you drop them you may blow it. Is it because of the assumption that they inevitably imply a certain type of commitment? Absolutely. Hence the fear to reveal the truth of feelings and the conclusion that it is often a question of avoiding to say the way things are for lack of courage to accept them. If you fear to tell him/her I love you, it means you are not ready to find out if him/her is the right one or not, but why wait? Saying I love you is like saying “only time will tell” and if you say it to someone who doesn’t want to hear it, the couple breaks up and good-bye. Misjudgment is always on the agenda: you thought it was love… but why care? You’ll get over it. Saying good-bye is never easy, but it is a moral must you can’t ignore if are forced to stay in a relationship that will never make you happy. You’ll start all over again, and if you feel like you have been wasting your time, you are wrong, because you will be using your time in a more constructive way. So don’t waste your time if you have any, since what is left is lost, even saying I love you.
