"You mean a lot to me"

I hadn't thought about this in quite some time. It's been while, but it's not until you hear words like that, that you kind of realize how much they do help.
I didn't need to hear them, but sometimes you need to, just to regain a little sanity and probably because despite others out there who have that "you know i love you, so why do i need to say it" mentality?... It's not about that. It's about something bigger than those words alone.
So, basically its not about saying i love you 1,000 times a day to get someone to believe it, and if you want the truth, you don't have to say it every day, but it's good to hear it out loud every now and then. It does make a difference, and sometimes when you're going through a rough time, or even just a bummy day, it doesn't hurt to hear it either.
I think people are braver in the middle of the night. You wouldn't believe how many times i came close to just calling someone around 3-4a.m. just because i had the overwhelming desire to say 'i love you' but stopped myself. I think the fear of what the response might be was something i wasn't willing to risk.
