I—the first person pronoun—the subject

love—the noun and the verb—the action

you—the second person pronoun—the object

grammatical pedantry and fanciful analysis aside

those three words can be the most powerful—adjective

an individual can utter to another

When backed with an adjective—weighty conviction. And with evidence of actions—nouns—that match their meaning.

    Holy hell, what a nerd that guy is. This was very creative, and I truly enjoyed it. But, I couldn't help but smile (laugh) imagining sitting at a restaurant or whatever, listening to that guy.

    Beautifully insightful breakdown of one of our most important phrases! Bravo, sir!
