Is four months in too soon? Is two years in too late? What if you
never feel that you love the person? Is that okay? What if you knew you
loved them before you even got together (or as Savage Garden sings,
“before I met you”)?
I’m beginning to think my concerns about when I should say it are
problematic. I’m anxious because I’m anticipating a response when I
shouldn’t be. My love for him isn’t about whether he loves me back. It’s
something that I feel, that I want to share, that should be nice, and
sweet, and a wonderful, happy feeling. I shouldn’t be expecting anything
from the other person that they don’t honestly feel.
Maybe for now, it’s nice and cozy to know it and not share it, not
expect anything back, not crave love, but rather want to give it wholly
and selflessly. Maybe I should hold onto this feeling — show you that I
love you with actions and affections, every single day. Literally, live
out my love for you in everything I do because that’s more important
than expected rom-com declarations or Cosmo magazine “milestones.”
Maybe that’s when you know it’s real and true: when you’re not
worried about saying it or anxious to hear the other person’s response,
when you don’t want anything from the other person, when there
is no “right” time. The “right” time is now because who knows what will
happen tomorrow? I don’t want to regret the things I never told you, the
things I thought we just both knew.
I am sure that I love you. There’s no textbook, formula for saying it
(though there’s definitely some wrong places, ha) so instead of
stressing about it, I should just say it and enjoy loving you. Because I
do.
