A wise man once said that if you love someone, you should tell them. After all, everyone deserves to know that they're loved, right?

But, the question remains, what's the best way to show someone you love them? Do you tell them those three magical words? Or do you simply let your actions do the talking?

To be honest, love means different things to different people. Hell, the definition of love changes as you grow up. It's no longer the fairy tale that rom-coms make it out to be. On the contrary, it is finding a person who chooses to be with you and stand by you, even when the going gets tough. And no, we aren't simply referring to romantic love.

But why are we suddenly contemplating the meaning of love, you ask? Before you think that the rains have brought out the inner poet in us, let us clarify that it was a Twitter thread which got us thinking

A Twitter handle, named @yofav_baldie, asked her followers to list ways of saying "I love you" without actually using those words and the replies have bowled us over.

Say “I love you” without using those three words, go.

You're thinking of me when I'm not around? Wow. If that's not real love, we don't know what is. 

I prayed for you — Stink Face Sweetheart 💕 (@aaliyahvernice) July 22, 2019

True story.

Sleep. I'll drive.

Wayyy better than fighting over the last slice of pizza.

Because food is the ultimate BAE, is it not?

Isn't love all about finding someone to count on? 

I got you! — Alicia Keys Sister (@yellowbonemama) July 23, 2019

Instantly makes me long for home. What about you?

We all need someone who reminds us to stay hydrated!

There you go. This thread is proof that you don't always have to tell someone you love them to show them that you care. So tell us, what would you say?
