I really like the way that people who are in love speak to one another. It can almost seem like there are never enough words to express their affection for one another. The first really big challenge in their communication usually comes when they desire to tell the other person that they are in love for the first time. Once the first person has mustered the courage to tell the other person “I love you,” it almost seems like they cannot say it enough. They start to say it to the other person all the time. Soon those words lose their force and they need to start adding adjectives, like “I love you very much,” or “I love you very, very much.” Usually, once people run out of words for how much they love one another, they usually start to add expressions of how long they wish to love one another to their words of affection. These expressions of love, which have to do with time, usually state something like “I will love you to the end of time,” or “I will love you for all eternity.” I do not think I have ever heard people who really deeply are in love say: “I will love you until July 1, 2020; that is how much I will love you!” Real and true love always wants to express that the beloved is everything to the one who loves and that the hope is that this love will last forever.
