When I really love someone [romantically, that is], it’s hard for me to tell them how I feel; the closest thing I’ve come to saying out loud is “I care about you” or its Spanish equivalent “Te quiero.” Again, this is just in a romantic context. My family and friends get heartfelt “I love you’s” all the time, though!)
