Why bother...

I love you is such an important and special phrase. It is that phrase we reserve for people who make us absolutely nuts; the people we sometimes want to strangle; the people we are nothing without. This is the phrase that reminds our loved ones and significant others, that through all the bullshit, they are still the people we can't breathe without; they are still the ones we want to talk to at the end of a long day, even if they added to the unnecessary length and bullshit we went through. I love you shouldn't be tossed around lightly. Okay, toss it at your friends - soon enough you will know to which friends it actually means something. But at what point do you spare a broken heart? In which moment is it that you realize that feeling actually is love? They say drunkenness is when we are most truthful. If that is true, how much does a drunken I love you really mean? When those three words are all you have been waiting for, how do you ignore them like they are not important to you? You said I love you...you made the next step...now do something about it...
