“...the very task of love and of language
is to give one and the same phrase
inflections which will forever be new.”
Roland Barthes

Roland Barthes
Here, a list of “I love you’s” and their equivalents:
“I love you
I love to be around you
when we are together my brain flushes
with the right kind of chemicals.
The happy ones.
I love you
or
you make me happy
when skies are gray.
You validate me.
You give weight to my being.
You justify some of what I do.
I want you.
I need you.
You deserve the best parts of me.
I love you,
or,
I am lying to save our skin
I want you here
I desire you
I am sorry about what this means.
I love you,
or,
no matter what you choose
this feeling will remain the same.
I love you,
or,
we are supposed to love eachother
and I am obliged to say so.
I love you,
or,
I’m never letting you go.
I love you,
or,
you can take this.
I love you,
or,
please smile.
I love you,
or,
why the fuck are you so sad?
I love you,
or,
please don’t go.”
