The phrase "I love you," has so much more meaning behind it than just confessing one person's love to another. When you say that sentence, you're making a solemn vow to sacrifice. Loving someone is caring about him or her more than yourself. It's about sacrifice, because love is sacrifice. It's when you put your selfishness aside and long to give someone love instead of being loved. Love is understanding that you're willing to do anything for that person, even though you're aware that might mean hurting yourself. That is the core of love.

If you can't let go of your selfish desires, if you can't give up your own happiness to see someone else smile, if you can't do what's best for that person instead of what you want, if you don't understand the concept of giving and not expecting much in return, then don't let those three words slip out of your mouth so easily.

No one wants to hear someone say things they don't mean.
