Meaning of Love

When we say "I love you" to our partner, what does it really mean? This three word phrase entitled to several unspoken promises and vows that both partners must dutifully adhere to. We promise our partners that we will always love them, always take care of them no matter how poor or how sick or how ugly or how fat they will be in the future, and always to provide them with endless amounts of  support when no one else has their back. We promise that we will grow old together, and that we will build a family together. Such promises can not be broken for it symbolizes the commitment that they have for each other. So each time when we say, "I Love You," we are actually telling our partner how much that person means the world to them, and when we say it, it is a reminder for us to keep our promises each and every day. With that, our love for one another has massively acculmuated each passing day, and we have come to understand the true meaning of love. With love, we are able to strive in all apsects of our lives because we have the mutual support from our partners. We know that no matter what happens, our partner will have our backs, and lend us their shoulders when we need to cry.

Dating my boyfriend has truly taught me what it means to love someone. I have never loved anyone, and since the day my boyfriend walked in my life, I have understood that love comes with commitments and scarfices that we must all uphold to. I have learned to be the girlfriend that he deserves, and I know that sometimes, I don't do a good job being the partner next to him, but each day, I am learning how to. I have made a new best friend, who is always empathic and willing to listen to me talk. I have found a partner that I want to hold hands, and explore the rest of the world with me. I am learning how to be the partner he needs. I am learning to be calm and considerate, like him. He complements me because what I am not, he is. I am not calm, but he is. I do not have patience, but he does. I am not very understanding of certain situations, but he is. With that, my boyfriend has changed me into a woman, who is mature and all grown up. Similarly, I hope with my presence in his life, he has become the man of more responsibilities. With that, in all relationships, we need each other, and our love for each will grow each day, and will help us become the better person we are.
