“In you I’ve found the love of my life and my closest, truest friend” - Unknown
So, just last week I was wandering around on Bloglovin’, as I do, and I stumbled upon Louise’s post I Love You Because.
Reading through the post I felt as though I related to Louise so much in ways I couldn’t explain, even if I tried. The way she spoke about how she was “quick to temper” and was quick to see her significant other’s flaws – it was almost as though Louise took the words right out of my mouth. Or mind.
And it’s true what Louise’s friend, Clare, advised “instead of a quick ‘love you!’ try saying ‘I love you because…’ It “struck a cord” with Louise, just as well it did for me, and so I felt as if it was appropriate to do the same through a blog post tonight.
Dear Kevin,
001.
I love you because you can tolerate me like no
one else has before.
002.
I love you because you take care of me when no
one else is there to take care of me.
003.
I love you because you manage to make me smile
when I’m at my lowest.
004.
I love you because you love me for who I am –
you say I don’t need make-up, or fancy dresses to impress you or to make me
look beautiful.
005.
I love you because you respect me.
006.
I love you because you trust me.
007.
I love you because you support me endlessly.
008.
I love you because when I’m beyond stubborn –
always almost – you stay with me.
009.
I love you because you understand me, and hold
me when I have my crazy anxiety attacks.
010.
I love you because you always try.
011.
I love you because you’ve turned me into an optimist
rather than a pessimist.
012.
I love you because you let me talk endlessly
about my future. The day I marry, the day I have children.
013.
I love you because you lie with me, and watch
the sappiest, sentimentalist, and foolish romantic films of all time.
014.
I love you because you’re you.
As Louise said "whoever it is you're saying, 'I love you' to, I'd encourage you to add a 'because' on there and strengthen your sentiments so much more"
I love you Jes, because you are so honest and compassionate.
ReplyDeleteI read Louise's post and I loved it! I very much like this idea indeed :) X
Meg :') This is too sweet. x
DeleteI love you because of how you followed my blog at the very beginning and commented lovely comments that made me smile, and how you were able to restart your blog, because change takes courage. :)

Aw, Emma. I'm glad I could make you smile just as well you make me smile. Thank you girly.
DeleteI love that you're in love because love is just the thing that keeps someone alive and well. Without love, from a parent, a partner, sibling or friend, we really dont have much. Love for ourselves is most important too! And I'm glad that Kevin helps you feel all of that. Goodness, he is a catch!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's exactly how a fine girl like you should be treated. This makes me happy and hopeful. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww I loved Louise's post about 'I love you'. It was so sweet and heartfelt. Cool that you did it too! :)
