The circumstances of our relationship always stopped me to tell her that I loved her. Now that she is married, it is burning me inside and still I cannot spit it out. I am afraid to make another big mistake. I was over proud and stupid to keep those words for me, and now it is too late. I am certain that if I told her the love I had, it would have changed many things for me and she is just making me realize how important it is to say “I love you”.  

In our society, the reserve of emotion towards your physical expression disguised the interpretation of my feelings and only my words could have been the proof of what I truly felt for her. Unfortunately, I surrendered because everything was not in my favor. I hated the injustice made by the differences between our societies, families and education responsible of making us think that any relationship would have been impossible, however, we were friends and she trusted me with her secrets. The day she has been proposed to my rival by her family, it was late to see her, to call her and even to write her, to tell her about my love. At the wedding, she smiled at me and so demonstrated me how cruel was love. I decided to vanish of her life but I’m still suffocating with “I love you” inside my mouth. 

I do not wish people to go through this kind of situation. It is true that 90% of human communication is physical, even if your eyes can tell everything about your feelings to the object of your affection, even if a hand to hand touch can manifest your opinion about your date, nothing will seal the truth about your love if your mouth does not say it. 

Say “I love you”, can move mountains. It can free you from the suffering of being alone or rejected and it can free you by bringing you happiness and peace of mind. 

You should know that it is easy to love someone and difficult to be loved in return. If you feel that your proposition to share your love with someone will be rejected, do not surrender without saying to her or him, what you feel deep inside or you will be regretting that for a long time. And just by using “I love you” to explain that is enough. 

If you both fall in love of each other, you should understand that say “I love you” to each other will free your heart of this heavy feeling that is love by bringing you peace. 

It does not cost anything to say “I love you” to someone. It is just like saying it to your bothers, sisters and parents. We should always tell these words when having the opportunity or we will end up regretting it.
