is I LOVE YOU important?

To me those words are extremely important! I only say them if I mean and feel it! It took my BF and I a while to say those magical words because we wanted to make sure it was right. Eventually we both knew it was extremely right. But we also do not Over use it! I don't say it a million times a day.. if you do it looses it's value and meaning I feel. I do not take him for granted and he doesnot take me forgranted so that word to us is extremly special.
