for the love birds

i love you

three simple words that can mean a lot.  

it can start wars, it can start relationships.  it can even end relationships, and possibly friendships.  its such a powerful phrase that should be used with caution.  
we say it to tell our significant other that we "love them."
but why bother say it if you don't mean it?  people now-a-days tend to say it a lot, but what's the point.  sure, there's nothing wrong with expressing your love to your boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, but what's the point if you have to constantly remind them that you love them?  
saying "i love you" after every sentence seems kind of tacky.  
repeated use of "i love you" often lessens its value, people tossing the phrase around like it's nothing.  sometimes the rationale is "what everyone else says it, so i'll say it too." 
there are many definition's of love, and some people often misinterpret it.  

when you say "i love chocolate," is that the same as saying "i love you" ?  how can you love chocolate the same as a person?  

the misuse of the term can lead to false pretenses among young people today, leading to hollow relationships surrounded by infatuation.  
the meaning of love has changed from what it used to be, and now it can mean a whole variety of things.  people actually in love have their own meaning.  

i found, that the best way to view love in action is in one way: through your family and friends.  
(i guess thats two..)
they're the ones who will always be there for you.  who will love you unconditionally.  never judging you, and are there to guide you and support you.  

love is something not simply defined, 
but it just is.
