How Do You Say “I Love You”? – A Valentine’s Message
Written by: | Saturday, February 11th, 2012
I am in a relationship unlike any other – ever (lucky me). We are different – in the way we support, care for, respect and love each other. We fit. We go together. So to say, “I love you” isn’t large enough for all that we are to each other. It needs something more – something different and something more personal.
So I thought I would bring back one of my most popular posts as we celebrate Valentine’s Day – to share ways to explain how much our favorite people mean to us.
I borrowed the first couple of lines from a plaque I saw in the Signals catalog, then was inspired to create my own. My favorites are at the end – and my most favorite 2 are highlighted.
Share these or invent your own. It’s not about what you buy – it’s about how you tell them what they mean to you.
You are the cheese to my macaroni.
You are the horizon to my sky.
You are the bacon to my eggs.
You are the jelly to my peanut butter.
You are the smile to my face.
You are the gravy to my mashed potatoes.
You are marshmallow to my hot chocolate.
You are the icing on my cupcake.
You are the salt to my pepper.
You are the mustard to my pastrami.
You are the toner to my printer.
You are the caramel drizzle to my macchiato.
You are star to my Christmas tree.
You are the key to my home.
You are the BBQ sauce to my ribs.
You are the moon to my stars.
You are the first thought to my day.
You are the pesto to my pasta.
You are the quiet to my night.
You are the wind to my kite.
You are the strength to my fear.
You are the ketchup to my french fries.
You are the flame to my candle.
You are the honey to my tea.
You are the key to my car.
You are the butter to my bread.
You are the caramel to my apples.
You are the sun to my summer.
You are the star to my sky.
You are the green light to my intersection.
You are the wasabi to my sushi.
You are the letters to my words.
You are the keyboard to my computer.
You are the Armani label to my ties.
My favorites:
You are the companion to my walk.
You are the comfort to my sorrow.
You are the breath to my lungs.
You are the inspiration to my mind.
You are the passion to my soul.
You are the hero to my life’s story.
You are the beat to my heart.
Create your own. Never miss an opportunity to share how you feel. Never wait. Impose no limits. Loving and being loved are the greatest gifts in life.
And though I know what “I love you” means, I get a much stronger feeling when I hear “you are the hero to my life’s story…”
Good news needs to be shared and telling someone how you feel about him or her is great news. Please share this with someone who will benefit form it – and be moved by your thoughts. More great things in how to live a great life in next week’s post. Happy Valentine’s Day.
