"I love you" [is] a statement that can be expressed in so many varied ways. It may be a stage song, repeated daily without a meaning,or barely an audible murmer, full of surrender.
Sometimes it means: I desire you or I want you sexually. It may mean: I hope you love me or I hope that I will be able to love you. Often it means: it may be that a relationship can develop between us or even I hate you. Often it is a wish for emotional exchange: I want your admiration in exchange for mine or I give my love in exchange for some passion or I want to feel cozy and at home with you or I admire some of your qualities.
A declaration of love is mostly a request: I desire you or I want you to gratify me, I want your protection or I want to be intimate with your I want to exploit your loveliness. Sometimes it is the need for security and tenderness, for parental treatment. It may mean: My self-love goes out to you. But it may also express submissiveness: Please take me as I am, or I feel guilty about you, I want, through you, to correct the mistakes I have made in human relations.
It may be self-sacrifice and a masochistic wish for dependency. However, it may also be a full affirmation of the other,taking the responsibility for mutual exchange of feelings.
It may be a weak feeling of friendliness, it may be the scarcely even whispered expression of ecstasy.
"I love you," --wish, desire, submission,conquest; it is never the word itself that tells the real meaning here.
