LOVE....when it's said

I know that I talk a lot about Love....and Understanding what Love is and what Love actually looks like is something that I have been able to grasp more now than I ever have. I mean it is something that we will never truly understand the whole meaning of. I mean Mercy is the ultimate...well I think it is ...form of Love that is shown...and understanding that is crazy.
A couple of days ago I texted a friend and said I Love you.... But what odes that mean. What do I mean when I say that. I understand what Christ means when he tells me that he Loves me. But I understand that more...Mercy and Grace....But is that what that means when I tell someone that I Love them?
I know well yeah I know how to show someone Love....and I know what it is like to Love someone. But what does it mean to Say I Love You?

This prolly makes no sense....but it made sense in my head the other day. And well it still does.
