"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." This is a line derived from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's famous poem. There are so many ways to express love to someone important to you. It does not necessarily have to be through words or by saying "I love you" often. What counts most is how love is expressed even through the simplest and smallest of things. Saying I love you without showing it defeats the purpose of professing your love for that person.
Corny as it may seem but actions speak louder than words. It is far more important to show how much that person means to you than just by simply saying it. Showing it is a lot different than saying it. You can say I love you to anyone you like whether you mean it or not. But when you show the person how much he or she means to you, then that is better.
There are simple yet memorable ways of saying I love you to the person who means most to you. Here are some examples.
First, you can leave notes in unusual places. Sometimes, both of you can lead very busy lives and at some point you feel that you have somehow lost connection with each other despite the fact that you share a house. Leaving a note somewhere unexpected like on the fridge, on the dashboard of the car, would somehow spice up the somewhat stagnant relationship that you have.
Second, you can give a surprise hug. Physical gestures mean a lot and a hug may be just what your loved one needs to put that smile on her face. It is actually a perfect way to let the person know and feel at the same time that they are loved. Besides, hugging boosts their mood, especially if it was given by surprise.
Third way to show your affection, is to do the chores without being asked to do so. It is really an unexpected but extremely welcomed act. This would make your partner's day a lot smoother and can put a big smile on her face.
Fourth simple yet meaningful way is to hold her hand. Holding hands can sometimes be neglected especially when the relationship become cozy and familiar. This happens because we lose the funny feeling that we get when we first hold hands, the butterflies in the stomach are gone and that dorky smile on the face is gone too. But we must always remember that holding your partner's hand is not just for that butterflies in the stomach feeling but it is also a sign that you are there for her regardless what happens and that your partner can lean on you anytime.
Fifth way is to make a meal, cook for your loved one. Make a special meal for your partner. If you can cook her favorite, then do so. Sometimes, it is a lot more enjoyable to eat when you are not the one who cooked the meal. To set the ambience, you can also include candles, champagne and dessert.
Sixth way is to give a surprise gift. An unexpected present is definitely a surprise that everyone looks forward to. The gift does not have to ostentatious or expensive. It can be simple yet meaningful to your partner. Remember, it's the thought that counts. It will definitely be a moment of pure joy for your partner and for you as well. Once you see that smile on her face because of your present, you will definitely feel happy too.
Last simple yet unique way to show your love is to write a poem. Yes, I know, not everyone is a Shakespeare but the poems do not necessarily have to be as elaborate as Shakespeare's. You can just write a simple poem that tells how much your partner means to you and how much you love your partner. All that matters with the poem is that it came from your heart, regardless how corny or cheesy it may sound.
These are 7 ways of saying I love you without really saying it. Just remember that it is important that these deeds or acts are done with sincerity. Make sure you do these because you want to, not because you are just obliged to do so. Remember, your partner will feel how valuable these acts are for you depending on how you do it for them.
