I love you is not only a word

“More Than Words” is a single from Extreme’s 1990 album Extreme II: Pornograffiti. It was written by Nuno Bettencourt & Gary Cherone.

According to Nuno Bettencourt, the song is described as a warning that the phrase ‘I love you’ was becoming meaningless, stating:

People use it so easily and so lightly that they think you can say that and fix everything, or you can say that and everything’s OK. Sometimes you have to do more and you have to show it— there’s other ways to say ‘I love you.’

It began with Bettencourt strumming an acoustic guitar one day on Cherone’s porch in Malden, MA. He played it for Cherone who was then inspired to scribble down the phrase “More than words is all you have to do”. Bettencourt then insisted he finish the lyrics right then.

Originally their record label wanted them to turn the song into a power ballad, asking them to add drums and a guitar solo like Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home” and Ozzy Osbourne’s “Mama I’m Coming Home” but the band refused. While the band recorded it in the studio, Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach heard the song and predicted it would be ‘huge’ and become ‘a number one’.

Initially the record company resisted Bettencourt’s request to release “More Than Words” as the album’s third single. Its first two singles had made little impact in the US, so their label wanted them to begin work on their next album. However, the band informed the label that their audiences drowned them out by singing along to the song whenever they played it in concert. The band kept insisting that it be sent to radio, so to pacify them the label tested the song in one radio market – where it quickly became the most-requested song on the station. A test was done in another market and the same thing happened, so the label relented and officially released it as single.

The song became a number-one hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in June of 1991 and was certified Gold by the RIAA. It also topped the charts in Canada, the Netherlands & New Zealand, and reached #2 in the UK. As soon as “More Than Words” was an international hit, the record company released the other acoustic track from the album “Hole Hearted” as the fourth single to cash in on their recent success – and it reached the top 5 in the US.

Being a hard rock band that scored two top 5 acoustic hits was both a blessing and curse for the band, the downside being Bettencourt felt it made the record company want to make them into something they were not:

Everybody got really greedy — the same people who thought an acoustic song would never work in the first place. And then on the next album, they were like, ‘Where’s an acoustic song?’ But we weren’t an acoustic band. I wrote a song on a porch and it became a hit. I wasn’t gonna try to write ‘More Than Words Part Two.’ It just doesn’t work that way.

Extreme is sometimes labelled as a one-hit wonder despite the fact their next single “Hole Hearted” reached #4 in the US and #12 in the UK.

In 2014, Bettencourt shared with the Straits Times how “More Than Words” created two distinct types of fans of the band:

People who just like that song are not Extreme fans, they just like ‘More Than Words’. That’s cool, that’s nice, but the actual truth fans know is we’re more than that song.

Текст «Extreme — More Than Words»

Saying «I love you»
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew

How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying «I love you»

More than words

Now I’ve tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don’t ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already know

Перевод «Extreme — More Than Words»

Говоришь «Я люблю тебя».
Это не те слова, что я хочу услышать от тебя,
Не то, чтобы я хочу,
Чтобы ты их не говорила, но если бы ты знала…

Как легко тебе было бы показать мне свои чувства,
Их истинность, а не просто выразить это словами…
Тогда тебе не пришлось бы говорить, что ты меня любишь,
Потому что я бы и так знал.

Что бы ты сделала, если бы мое сердце разорвалось пополам?
Более, чем слова, показывающие твои чувства
И то, что твоя любовь ко мне искренна…
Что бы ты сделала, если бы я лишил тебя слов,
Тогда ты не смогла бы сказать мне ничего нового,
Кроме «Я люблю тебя…»

Больше, чем слова…

Теперь я пытаюсь поговорить с тобой и объяснить:
Всё, что тебе надо – просто закрыть глаза,
Протянуть руку и дотронуться до меня,
Обнять меня и никогда не отпускать.
Мне всегда было нужно больше, чем слова.
Тогда тебе не пришлось бы говорить, что ты меня любишь,
Потому что я бы и так знал…

love messages

As the song says, saying “I love you” is not the words I want to hear from you. What you do defines who you are, and your every action shows the way you feel about someone. Just hold the one you love, and it will be enough.

***

Every human being is yearning for love, sometimes without fully understanding the desire to love and to be loved. Your time will come. Enjoy your life and don’t hurry this amazing feeling. 

***

Love is the most complex and multifaceted feeling that I could think of. It has a lot of faces, stages, levels, call it whatever you want, but we will never be able to fully understand the nature of love. Isn’t it amazing? 

***

Everything is love. When you accept it, your whole world will change. You will see world’s true colours, and it will give you so much peace and power. Being able to love is the most important skill you can develop.

***

Always remember that somebody loves you. Somebody thinks of you every second of their life, and you mean so much for that somebody. Love is more thang hugs and kisses. It’s something spiritual.

They say love is blind, but actually it has opened my eyes and changed me for the better. Thanks to you, now I know what true love is.

Every time I see the Sun shining bright, I think about you. And you know what? Thousands of suns can’t outshine the light that comes from your beautiful soul and angel face.

Meeting you was like an answer to a prayer, I became happier, my heart always feels good, I feel good, and I know for sure, you feel good as well.

Darling, all I want is to stay with you until the rest of my life. You give me comfort, confidence and inspiration. I really hope that you feel just the same when you’re by my side.

***

Love is in the details, but it’s also about feats and big deals. Love is loud, but sometimes it needs silence. Love is what connects two people and warms their hearts even when they are far away from each other. Love is so multifaceted, but at the same time stable and safe. Love is what happens between us.

You know the secrets of my heart, you have the key to open my heart, and I’m sure you will never lose it or throw away!

***

I know that sometimes life gets tough, but you are not alone. You can always count on me, because making you happy is my life mission and I won’t fail you, my love.

Our lives are full of ghosts: ghosts of the people we met or things we did. Some memories are a heavy burden to carry. But I promise you can share your memories and concerns with me and we will carry them together throughout life. This is the best I can do for the person I love the most.

***

I would follow you round the world. I would do anything for you. If you are sad, I will do everything I can to make you happy. If you’re tired, I will fill you with energy and joy. I’m completely yours and you should know that.

***

When you talk, I hear the voice of angel. When you smile, I’m going blind because of the light coming from your face. When you look at me, I’m losing my mind completely. What are you doing to me? I guess, it’s love.

I love you so much that I’m going crazy. I can’t stop thinking and dreaming about you. Only it makes me feel alive and gives my life a meaning. Please, don’t ever take it away from me.

***

I have a dream – to be with you until the rest of my days. I’ll do everything it takes to make this dream come true. I hope you have just the same dream and together we’ll build our common future.

***

You’re like some magical and unbelievable creature. You do magic with your love. I can’t imagine my life without that wonderful feeling you give me every time you talk to me, hug me, kiss me. It’s a heaven on earth.

***

I’ve never believed in love. I thought I was just a fairy tale for kids. But then I met you and you changed everything. Now I believe in love and fairy tales. Thank you for making me a believer.

***

Love is the best drug; it takes you so high and makes you forget about the real world. Love addiction is the most pleasant addiction ever. You’re my drug, my addiction, and I don’t want it to stop.

The most wonderful things happen when you expect them the least. We found each other in difficult times for both of us and became guiding stars for each other. I believe, if we stick together, nothing will hurt us. You can always rely on me.

I just want to let you know that falling in love with you
Was the second best thing that happened to me,
Because the first one was meeting you!

You are all I got. I’ve never thought that all happiness in the world may fit into one person. And this person is you. You’re the eighth wonder of the world and I won’t stop admiring you ever.

Life would be such a dark place without you. I love you with all my heart and I want to thank you for every amazing memory you gave me.

When you fall in love, it’s like a fresh start and a good opportunity to forget about your failures and flaws. It’s a new page and whether it’s going to be a happy story or a tragedy, depends on what you are going to write in it. I want you and me to become co-authors and write an unforgettable love story about us.

Love is the air I breathe. Without you, my darling, I wouldn’t be alive, because you have a piece of my heart, and that’s why I need you by my side so much.

Love is like a freedom-loving bird, because it doesn’t tolerate control. Love is like a fish that can easily slip through your fingers if you squeeze it too hard. Love is built on trust and this is the only way to make it strong and faithful. I believe we both will choose this way and reach our happiness.

When you are next to me, or when we are apart,
You are always the first in my thoughts and in my heart.

Every love story is a story about two people who do everything they can to make each other happy. All I want to do is make you happy for all my life. And I really hope that you want it as well.

When I look into the night sky with thousands of stars, I remember your eyes, because they sparkle exactly like stars. When I see the sun I remember you, because you brighten not just my day, but my life.

Love can be destructive and creative, painful and healing. Love can be so different that sometimes we can’t understand whether it’s love or something else. But I know that as long as two people want to stay together, they will cope with all challenges making their way to happiness.

Every day I want to have you next to me,
When you’re not here, I’m always sad,
When you are here, my heart is full of joy,
I never want to lose you.

Every time I think about giving up, I think about you and it gives me strength. Somehow you motivate me and fill me with inspiration. The amazing feeling of love and gratitude leads me through hardships to happiness. Our happiness.

They say it doesn’t matter how long you know a person, to know it’s true love, I know we don’t go way back, but it feels like I have known you forever, because we were meant for each other.

When one door closes, the other one opens. But when I met you, so many doors opened at once and I long to see what hides behind each and every of them. These doors are my ways to happiness, love and inspiration.

Love is what I see when you smile,
Love is what I feel when you touch me,
Love is what I hear when you say something,
Love is what we share!

Sometimes love hurts, sometimes it makes you truly happy. Anyway, it’s something that makes you feel alive and gives you an appetite for life. Because of you, I’m hungry now and want to get from life as much as possible.

I remember the days when I thought I had diamonds, but now that I have you, I know I used to have rocks, and you are the one that I never want to lose.

I had thought that life was a never-ending string of torments and pain before I met you. You have changed my whole view on life and helped me to see the good side of it. And I’m infinitely grateful to you for it.

You are my sun, my stars, my sky…
The one I truly love and care for,
I don’t need anyone else, but you,
Your eyes and your smile!

They say that true love may occur only once. But I don’t believe it, otherwise how can we explain the fact I keep falling in love with you over and over again?

I know that we sometimes fight, but honey you are my everything, if I could I would give you all the flowers in the world, but instead I give you my love.

There are only a few things that warm me up, when I’m sad and cold. Sunlight, my favorite blanket and your love. If you take it away from me, I’ll become frozen forever. You are my sunshine, you are my hope and I can’t imagine my life without you.

I love you to the moon and back, and you know that. I will never let you down, even if you make me mad, you can always ask me advice, I will never leave you.

Every day we choose something: what to wear, what to eat, whom to talk to. And I’m so happy to know that I was chosen by you – the most amazing person on this planet. I believe that your choice wasn’t accidental and we’ll spend many beautiful years together in love and peace.

When you are away, I’m full of sadness,
When you are next to me, I’m so happy,
Every single day I’m feeling that I cannot live without you.

We never know what the future holds for us, but we do know that everything we have now can change in a moment. We have to enjoy every minute of it and do everything we can to preserve it from falling apart. May our love help us.

The sun doesn’t shine as bright
When you’re not by my side,
The sky isn’t as blue
As it is with you, and that’s why I love you!

The best gifts are those that were sent from above. And you are exactly this kind of a gift. You mean a world to me and I will never trade you for anyone else, because losing you is tantamount to death.

You’re a real magician, because there’s no other way I can explain how I feel when I’m next to you. I feel real magic running through my veins and making its way to my heart. You fill it with hope and sparkles. You fill it with love.

You know you really love someone, when all you can think about is that only person. When you can’t be without him, and when you always want to see him smiling… Well, now I know – I love you!

I’m drawn to you in a weird sort of way. I think about you all the time. Your happy smile and sparkling eyes stay in my mind no matter what I’m doing. One thought about you is enough to fill my heart with joy. Thank you for being mine.

Great philosophers of all time struggled with the question of what love is. Some say it’s just some special chemical reactions in our body. Some say it’s a blessing from above. I haven’t found the answer as well, but there’s one thing I know for sure: if you really love somebody, you will love this person in all circumstances. My dear, I love you when you are strong and when you are weak, when you’re healthy and when you’re sick, when you’re happy and when you’re sad. And it will never change. Trust me.

I wish I could share everything with you,
All sad and joyful moments,
Your ups and downs,
Every single moment of your day.

I believe that people need to fight for such treasures, as love, hope and happiness. Only fight makes them so precious and welcome. But you can’t fight alone, because loneliness kills. So let’s fight together for our happiness and I promise we’ll become king and queen of happiness!

True love is not just a feeling – it’s also a choice. Whether to stay together no matter what or split up at the first sign of trouble. Whether to talk and discuss issues or be angry and irritated. Love is hard, love takes much courage and resilience, but in the end, it’s worth it. Would you like to go through this battle together with me?

You know I love you, and you should never forget that, because you are my sun, my sky and my world… you are my everything!

It’s so easy to become callous and cynic and so hard to find some light and kindness inside your soul. Surprisingly, I’ve found it all and you are the reason why. If I lose you, I’ll lose all hope and all faith. But if you stay with me, you’ll make me the happiest man on Earth.

You know that you love someone, when you cannot stop thinking about this person. You know that you fell in love with someone, when you dream about spending your whole life with this person. That’s exactly how I feel about you.

Love is just one short word, but it can say a lot… Even if you don’t want to say it, or you’re afraid… you know you shouldn’t be, and that’s why I say – I love you!

Only the Moon can love the Earth the way I love you. Even when you don’t see me for some time, I’m still coming back in the end of the day. Even if I’m far away, I’m the closest person in your life. I will never give up on us, love.

When I think that I spent so many years without you I get so mad. It was such a waist of my life. And then you came, baby. You filled my life with sense and love, and there is nothing more I could ask for. The Earth is spinning because our giant and strong love is moving it.

Love is born from the joy to look at each other.
Love matures from the need to be together all the time.
Finally, it becomes impossible to break up.
This is love.

I will never let you go, sweetie. You are the meaning of my life, and I absolutely cannot imagine myself without you always being around. I want to hear your voice when I wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night. You are my treasure.

I’ve seen a lot of stars in the sky, but you, my love, shine the brightest. I will never understand why a girl like you could ever fell for someone like me, but nevertheless I feel like the happiest man in the whole world. My love for you will never die.

I never get tired of listening to your stories that you tell me all day long, even if they sound the same, I love when you are talking, smiling, laughing, and I never want to see you cry, because your tears hurt me. I love you!

I will fight for you, love. There is nothing that can stop me when it comes to your happiness and safety. I feel like I can move mountains when I’m with you, and I really can do anything to make you smile. Love you endlessly.

Just say you love me – and my day will be the best day in life. All I need is you by my side, smiling and laughing like only you can. My life is nothing but emptiness without you in it, so baby please, don’t you ever leave me.

The way you look at me makes me feel like I am the queen of the world. Each and every day you make me feel so amazing and loved, I could not be more grateful to you for all the love you give me. I promise to do my best to make you feel the same way. Love you unbelievably.

Love is my everything. It’s everywhere. It’s in the messages you send me, it’s in the words you say to me and it’s in your eyes when you look at me. Love is in my heart and in my thoughts. Love is you and me.

It’s funny, but I have never thought of us being together. It seemed impossible for us to spend a minute without screaming at each other, but somehow I fell for you like crazy. I cannot imagine my life without you in it, honey.

When I met you I understood how people write all of those love songs we hear on the radio every day. It’s just such an overwhelming feeling, you cannot keep it inside, so you put your love in words and magic happens. Each and every love song is about us. You are my everything, baby.

It was hard for me to understand what love is. But somehow you’ve managed to make me feel so special, I couldn’t be more grateful for what you’ve done to me. My whole life has changed in the most magical way. I love you.

Love is unexplainable feeling. It’s so huge that doesn’t fit in any words, especially these three simple words “I love you”. I want our love to be special and unique. I want it to be eternal.

When your hand touches mine, I feel like I’m falling into tiny pieces. I’m craving for more, and that’s what my love for you does to me. Never stop looking at me the way you do. Never stop loving me, and my love will never die.

I remember the first time ever I saw your face. I got lost in those shiny eyes and immediately fell for you. You’ve got me under your spell, and I want this magic to last forever. I love you like I’ve never loved anyone before. It’s special, baby.

Sometimes it seems to me that I’m dreaming, cause your love is something that simply cannot be real. I can never get enough of you, and the best part is that I know you feel the same about me. I love you insanely.

I can’t spend a day without you, can’t you see?
I love you so much. You are a part of me and this is for ever.

You are the only person who can make me laugh even when I feel like my life is falling apart. I appreciate that so much, baby. I feel like you are the love of my life, and I will do everything to make this last forever. Love you to the Moon and back.

Being with you is like living in Heaven on Earth. You make my life so special, it seems like every day is my birthday. I’ve never met someone as extraordinary as you are. Baby, I will never stop loving you. You are the best thing that ever happened to me.

No one knows me better than you do. Once I gave you my heart and I know that I’ve made a right choice. I know that you will never let me down. Your endless support is something that fills me up with strength and confidence. I love you endlessly.

My mother has always told me to be careful when it comes to love. Hearts break so easily, but it’s hard to bring it to life. But I know that this time it’s real. I love you insanely, and I know you feel the same way about me too.

Love isn’t when you buy me things, when you spoil me with presents, love is when I see your smile and when you give me all your hugs, I love you!

To love someone like you is the easiest thing to do, because you are so beautiful. Every freckle on your face is perfect, every single wrinkle is stunning. Your giant heart is full of love and kindness; I have never met someone as generous as you are. You are everything to me. I love you insanely.

Every time I hear a love song I immediately think of you. The feeling you give me is indescribable, it fills my heart with joy and hope, and even if I feel bad, you’re always there to tell me that everything is going to be okay. You are my knight in shining armor.

I don’t think that I’m the nicest person in the world, not even close, but somehow you bring out the best in me. You light up my life with your endless optimism, your heart is the heaviest of all, because you carry so much love in it. You are precious. Thank you for everything.

My heart beats faster when you are around. My whole body trembles when I hear your sweet voice, I melt down when I see you. I’m desperately in love with you and I know that this love is real. Thank you for being mine, babe.

To love somebody means to give without wanting to receive. I’m so in love with you, I want to give you everything that I have. My heart, my life, the whole world will be yours if you just say you want it. I’ll do anything for you, love.

When I don’t see you every day, I think of you all the time,
When I see you every day, I think about how lucky I truly am to have you.
I love you!

Sometimes it hurts to love you. I feel so empty when you don’t text me back or being late for dinner. But nevertheless, I would never give up on this relationship, because I love you so very much. You are my other half, sweetheart. Thank you for being you.

You know what I’ve just realized? It hit me like a ton of bricks. Baby, I cannot live without you. You are the reason I wake up in the morning, you are the air in my lungs and Sun in the sky. There is no one like you. I love you.

The greatest love stories are not supposed to be perfect, dear. It’s okay if we fight and argue sometimes, because that’s what makes our life even more passionate and interesting. I can never get bored with you. I love you more than anything in the whole world.

There are no words that can describe the way I feel about you. Loving you is such an endless cosmic feeling, and I know that you see it in my eyes when I look at you. I want you to be mine till the end of time. Love you forever.

It was hard for me to trust someone again. I’ve been hurt too many tomes so I couldn’t believe that someone can heal my heart the way you did. You saved me from falling apart, baby. I love you so very much.

Relationships are hard. We fight, we argue and don’t talk to each other from time to time. But you know what’s even harder? Not having you by my side. I will love you forever, and it’s not just words to me. You are my everything.

There are seven billion people in the world, but in my personal world there is only one and that is you, my love.

You smell like lavender and morning coffee. Your hands are softer than the rose’s leaf, your kiss is sweeter than honey. Every single part of me is crazy in love with you, and I want to spend a lifetime having you by my side.

Love is when you want to come back no matter what. Even if we fight and you say that you don’t want to see me, I know that in the end I will hold you, kiss you, whisper that everything is going to be fine, and it will be, baby. I love you endlessly.

There is no way I can describe the way I feel about you. I just can’t breathe, eat or sleep when you don’t text me back, I worry about you so much it’s insane. I want you to always be around, baby. I love you so very much.

It was hard for me to understand how relationships work. I couldn’t deal with the fact that you can love someone so much that you decide to live with this person or even get married eventually. But now I get it. I love you, sweetie. You are my everything.

I can’t stop thinking of you. When I’m hanging out with my friends, they get so angry cause I’m always starring at the phone waiting for your texts. You are my end and my beginning. There is no one like you, honey. Love you so very much.

I think that true love is when you wish someone the best of all, even if it means that you have to suffer. I know that it’s not the case here, but I want you to be happy even if it means I have to step back. You are everything, baby. I love you endlessly.

I love you, like I never loved before,
I always wished to know that feeling.
Cause only when I fell in love with you,
I started to enjoy my living.

Your voice is a beautiful song I want to hear every time I wake up. Your love fills my soul with peace and harmony, and all I can think about is you. Every single second of my life – you, baby. I love you to the Moon and back.

Sometimes it seems to me that I’m dreaming awake, cause having you by my side is something absolutely unreal. You make my life a fairy tale and I’m addicted to that feeling you give me each and every day. Pretty sure it’s called love, baby. Be mine till the end of time.

Being with you is the biggest blessing I could ever receive. You are everything. My past, my present, my future. No one can make me laugh like you do, no one can make me so happy and grateful. I’m blessed with your presence in my life. Love you so very much.

Baby, you are my rock. I’ve been looking for someone like you all my life, even though I didn’t know that I need you so bad. Your love fills my life with sense, and every time you smile my world lights up. Thank you for being you, love.

My love for you is indescribable. I get so confused trying to explain how much I need you in my life, it just seems impossible. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I will never let you go. I love you more than anyone in the world.

My love for you fills my heart with joy and happiness. Every day I wake up and think of you, I eat my lunch and I think of you, I go to bed thinking of you. You are my everything, baby. I love you endlessly, thank you for being mine.

It’s good to love and to know that you are surrounded by love.
It’s good to believe that this love will last forever.

There is something about you that makes me go crazy. Each and every part of your body and soul is perfect, and It seems to me that you are my other half. I feel like our love will last forever. You are my Sun, and I can’t live a minute without your light.

Some say that love is heavyweight. But I don’t feel like that when I’m with you. You make me feel so complete, I feel like all my life I’ve been looking for you. And now that I found you, I could not be happier. I love you endlessly.

You’ve blinded me with your beauty. The moment I saw you I realized that I’m going to spend my life with you. Your amazing personality makes you completely perfect, and I feel like the luckiest man in the world to have you by my side.

It’s amazing how you’ve made me believe in true love. I used to think that it’s just a fairy tale for little girls, but now I know that it’s real. You’ve showed me, and now I understand. Thank you for everything, sweetheart. I love you so very much.

I used to dream about meeting a girl like you. It was hard for me to think that something like that can even happen, but the first time ever I saw your face I realized that you are the one. It will never change, I promise. I love you.

I love you. And I’m saying these words because I really mean it. It was hard for me to let somebody in, my heart was full of disbelieve and I thought that I was just destined to be alone. But you saved me. And I promise to remember that till the end of time.

I would give up everything just to make you happy. You are the most important person in my life, and I want you to be sure that I will do anything to see this breathtaking smile on your beautiful face. I love you to the Moon and back.

I can’t stop thinking about you, I can’t be anywhere else but with you, I know that it may be too much, but this is Love, and I love you, because you are my everything, and I couldn’t stand losing you.

Just a thought of you makes my heart beat faster. Your eyes, your smile, your beautiful body and amazing personality are such a gift of God, I could not be more blessed in this life. You are the most precious thing in this world. I love you so very much.

Being in love with you is such an amazing feeling that keeps me from falling apart. Every morning I wake up thinking of you, and that gives me strength to stand up and start my day with a perfect mood. I can’t even describe how precious you are to me. I love you.

You make me happy in a thousand ways. I love you to the moon and back, and I have no idea what I would do, if I lost you, because I feel like I will lose my entire world.

I can’t stop looking at you. When you smile, when you laugh, when you wake up in the middle of the night from a bad dream, when you make your morning coffee. And the reason is – I love you so very much. You are my Sun, my Moon and the Stars.

I love you baby, and when you’re not with me holding my hand, you are in my mind controlling my thoughts, that’s why I love you!

When I have you next to me, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world,
And when you are away, my mind and my heart are still with you!

I am feeling jealous of all the people that you ever hugged,
Because for a moment they were holding the whole world of mine.

It’s beautiful when the evening comes,
When the stars shine in the dark,
But it’s even more beautiful
When the love is born in two people’s hearts.

What is a flower without the sun, what is the earth without the sky?
Who am I without you, that’s why I tell you that I love you.

To love means to live, not to exist,
To run barefoot through the snow
And to laugh in the pouring rain.
It cannot be better, I know.

I feel so happy now,
Because I’m yours and you’re mine,
No matter where I am
You’re always on my mind.

If somebody would ask me a question what a beautiful life means to me, I would put my arms around you, lean my head on your shoulder and say “Like this!”

Loving people complement each other and this makes their life complete.
Love connects people to the depths of their souls.

Every day think of you,
Every night I dream of you,
Every minute I love you!

My love for you is like the sun,
Maybe sometimes it hides behind the clouds,
But it is always there to keep you warm.

Live and Love,
Don’t run away from it,
And if you fall in love,
Then love forever!

You cannot deny that love exists
You cannot deny that it’s real.
And when you feel it, cherish it
And never let go from your heart!

I wish to forget everything in the world from your kisses,
I wish to fall asleep in your arms
And see your face, when I wake up.
I dream to love and be loved, purely and sincerely.
And I wish that dream come true,
Because my dream is you!

If I could ask for three wishes,
I would ask very simple things:
Learn to never give up,
Want more out of life than I wanted yesterday
And always be next to you!

Every day I will find time to say “I love you”,
Each morning I will start with a kiss and words “Good morning, my love”.
And before falling asleep I will embrace you and wish you “Sweet dreams”.

Meeting and knowing a person like you has made me happy in a million ways.
And if you ever have to leave me, I will find a million reasons for you to stay.

Why is it so hard to say I love you? Or just be romantic for the sake of it? I often find myself wanting to be romantic, but usually can’ find a good way of expressing it. If you’re anything like me, there’s a chance you will cross this road if you haven’t already: how do you express love in a way that feels right?

Want to know what all marriage and relationship experts agree on?

Well, not a whole lot.

They’re all constantly fighting with each other and everyone else about the right way to be in a relationship, and the right thing to do, and the right things to say.

But there is no right way to be in a relationship or right word to say to a partner. One person’s “I love you” might be different from yours or mine, or in another language! No “I love you” is better than the next.

But what all experts can agree on is this:

And not everyone wants to hear “I love you” in the same way! Some people are moved by metaphor, some by example, others by beauty or wit (1).

Love has a ton of crazy ways of expressing itself.

Whatever it is, there are million ways people like to hear their partner say ‘I love you’.

Which means you’re in luck, because there’s nothing that keeps the love alive in a relationship like expressing your love and devotion to your partner—it really can make a relationship last forever!

So, if you want to keep your relationship strong and you want variety in the ways you say “I love you,” whether that be a note tucked in his briefcase, a text message, or straight-up
love letter
, well, we’ve got you covered.

Cute Ways to Say ‘I Love You’ in a Text’

Or what if you want to spice things up and make the phrase less serious? Regardless of the reason, we’ve included ways to say “I love you” in 20 different languages.

  • Filipino: “Mahal kita”
  • German: “Ich liebe dich”
  • Greek: “S’agapo”
  • Hebrew: “Ani ohev otah” (female) or “Ani ohevet othah” (male)

Sometimes a quote can express love in a way our own words cannot.

It can be hard to make sense of your own feelings when in love—feelings that are usually overwhelming and hard to put into words. But at the same time, your heart can grow heavy if there are no ways to express your love. It can grow heavy with the nagging need to be heard.

And what I mean by being heard is that you want the object of your affection to truly understand the depth of your feelings.

Before we start breaking down any specific words or phrases, one thing to note: saying I love you and making romantic gestures is obviously important to any relationship. But it’s not, I repeat, NOT the be-all-end-all of your relationship.

Focus on the quality of the time your spend with him, and try not to obsess over what he says and what you say. Overthinking and over-analyzing how you say “I love you” might actually blur the sentiment you’re trying to express.

Sometimes you can say “I love you” by pushing him up against a wall and “making love” to him (see what I did there?). There’s a reason we always see this kind of moment in movies—it’s effective, and usually works! Words are not the only tools we have to say “I love you”; men actually feel love more with a physical expression. Remember: there are many languages of love. Men happen to speak the best in body language.

Holding his hand or looking into his eyes are good starting points for showing love in a way that he might respond to better than most ways of saying “I love you.”

Let yourself express your love for him in a way that feels natural. If something feels natural, it will come across in a way that he can intuit. What better way to communicate something naturally than with good old-fashioned body language.
Though it’s important to establish a natural way of expressing your love for him, be sure it’s never forced. Trying to “force” a romantic exchange between you and him will set you up for disappointment.

And speaking of disappointment, a key point to always remember is this: don’t look for him to respond in a certain way. Have no problem with how he responds. Listen to him and be fully engaged in each passing moment. Love is not something that can be concretely defined. Love just is.

I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

Я люблю тебя не только за то, кто ты есть, но еще и за то, кем становлюсь я, когда я рядом с тобой.
Я люблю тебя не только за то, каким ты сделал себя, но ещё и за то, какой ты делаешь меня.

Я люблю слышать твой смех, видеть, как ты реагируешь на некоторые вещи, я люблю узнавать о тебе что–то новое. Я люблю то, кем я становлюсь с тобой, и я верю, что ты не сделаешь мне больно.

— Как ты можешь оставить меня? Неужели для тебя нет ничего важнее мести?
— Это все, что у меня есть, Мишель. Больше во мне ничего нет, поэтому я такой…
— Брэндон, у тебя была я! Как бы тяжело ни было, я была с тобой.
— Я потерял тебя ещё тогда, когда оставил вас… Я потерял тебя тогда, когда отпустил после той ночи… Тогда, когда рассказал всем о нас и повёл себя, как полный эгоист.
Ты бы не простила меня, даже если бы хотела.

Пояснение к цитате: 

Новелла «В Ритме Страсти»

— Даан, ты действительно меня любишь?
— Конечно, — улыбнулся я.
— Для тебя важно быть рядом со мной?
— Да, я хочу быть рядом с тобой.
— Но… ведь я не люблю тебя.

I’ll be right there, if ask me to.
If you’re feeling sad, I’ll stay with you.
And if you’re scared, I’ll hold your hand.
Like I know you’d do for me too.
Like I know you’d do for me too.

Я буду рядом, если ты попросишь.
Если тебе будет грустно, я останусь с тобой,
А если тебе будет страшно, я буду держать тебя за руку.
Как, я знаю, ты тоже сделал бы для меня.
Как, я знаю, ты сделал бы для меня.

Люби меня, люби меня, люби меня, люби меня, люби меня, люби меня, люби меня, я буду тем, кем ты захочешь. Пользуйся мной. Переделывай меня. Я могу стать тоненькой с большими сиськами и густыми волосами. Разорви меня на части. Преврати во что угодно. Только люби.
