I love U

"I love U". How often do we hear this world...In every movie( be it hollywood or bollywood), In every other reality or TV show and now a days quite frequently in our own lives.Do we actually know what these words mean. These are used now a days more leisurely and frequently than "Thank U" or "Sorry". But do people actually realize what can these three words mean to a person.

I guess some people(not all) just hunt for love, they keep saying "I love U" to anyone that meets their fancy to some extent...after some days they realize their decision is not right and "I love U" changes to some XYZ feelings and their search for another candidate for their beloved "I love U" starts all over again.

When U say "I love U" to a person, u normally expect the other person to reciprocate with same feeling but if the feeling or response is not same from the other end, does the meaning or feeling of ur "I love U" fade?

I have experienced and heard time and again...one person says "I love U" and the other person(most of the time girl) goes :"See I love U but as a friend...I have never seen you as the special one in my life" and they decide that they will always be friends with mutual agreement...Can they ever(forget always) be friends now onwards?? Can the first person control his/her feelings to keep them always in a friendly mode and not think of "lovey dovey" things? even if you try to control, that "love" feeling has the potential to pop up suddenly without any warning and make you think or act in a manner which you very well know is an illusion.

And what if two people who are in love or "think so" move apart because of some reason and go on with their live.Years pass and u see that person, U feel something..U skip a heartbeat or two....does that mean u have not actually moved on? Still in some corner of heart that love lingers???

P.S. I read this post two hours after posting and it seems too incoherent. But I am not able to link and coordinate the thoughts...so let it be
