'I love you' means that I accept you for the person that you are,
and that I do not wish to change you into someone else.
It means that I will love you
and stand by you even through the worst of times.
It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood,
or too tired to do the things I want to do.
It means loving you when you’re down,
not just when you’re fun to be with.
'I love you' means that I know your deepest secrets
and do not judge you for them,
asking in return that you do not judge me for mine.
It means that I care enough to fight for what we have
and that I love you enough not to let go.
It means thinking of you, dreaming of you,
wanting and needing you constantly,
and hoping you feel the same way for me.

— Jonathan Safran Foer
