I'll Be

Someone once said, ~When you love someone, say it. Say it loud. Say it right away, or the moment just passes you by.~ Without a doubt, the three words that can make the biggest impact and mean so much are I LOVE YOU. It can most definitely stop a person from what one is doing as it pierces his or her heart not only personally but also emotionally as well. Let me ask you this question, who was the last person who said those three very deep meaning words to you (besides mom and dad) and did you say it back to that special someone who means so much to you? Essentially, when it comes to saying I love you there is a growing debate as to who should say first: men, women, or whoever feels it the most in his or her heart?

For a guy's perspective, times have now changed where the girl can say I love you to the guy. You have to look at it from our point of view as we're basic/simplistic and let's be honest here we're alos stupid. As a guy, we will wonder if that woman of interest actually cares for us deeply to where when of if she says it we will do something totally off the wall such as do flips, scream out loud, hug/hig five total strangers, or do all of the above. Let me tell you something ladies, there is so much going in our heads that its impossible to focus on one complete thought let alone other thoughts concerning you that it actually hurts our heads and you wonder why there are so many guys messed up in the head out there.

Yet, from a woman's standpoint, its the guy who should say I love you first. Why? In their minds, its the guy who should ask the woman out, the guy who should as the woman to marry him, and most definitely its the guy who should ask the woman father for her daughter's hand in marriage, which is tradition and that's what I will do someday. In a woman's mind, it means so much more that the guy says for the simple reason that you want to know how he truly feels for you and genuinely means it, which can be an unknown for some, most, or all women. However, it really depends on the guy who considered to be "too good to be true" for you and you are in amazement that he is in your life or you want that guy personally in your life, as well as, in your heart.

When it comes to saying I love you, there are those who believe that whoever feels it the most in his or her heart should say it first. In their own thinking, if you truly, madly, deeply love someone you should say/speak it from your heart and soul only if you've known that guy or girl for several months/years rather than days/weeks. For the most part, it doesn't even have to be the actual words I love you. As a matter of fact, it can be something heartfelt such as you captured my heart, you're my world, I think I'm falling in love with you, etc. whatever the case may be. Its all in how you convey those words and how you look at him or her that makes the "L" word so powerful to so many people who are in love.

George Jean Nathan said, ~A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.~ In retrospect, that is how love oftentimes is for both men and woman as you eventually find that one special person who you can open with about everything not be afraid. In my honest opinion, it doesn't matter whether a man or woman says it first, if its true love between both of them then he, she, or both will say to each other, I'll be loving you forever and its song by Westlife which I am dedicating to those couples, married or dating, who are truly in love.
