Love you more than stars in the sky

I love you more than stars in the sky. — A common way old Southen Black people end telephone calls. If you had a mother or a grandmother who kept a rotary phone well into the touch tone phone age; and who finally got a touchstone phone when people were shedding landlines; and she was from the South; then, you have heard this phone ending long distance kiss.
.
Even if she was mad at you.

Or you were mad at her.

Racial politics in America being what that have been since reconstruction, life could be uncertain. So old Black people always say I love you a lot at the end of phone conversations — especially long distance phone calls — because they don’t want the last thing that they say to people to be words of anger — especially because at any moment in America, a Black life may not matter.

The saying they used a lot was: Don’t let the sun set on your wrath.

And I’m thinking of you here George Floyd!

Now in the age of emojis the children and grandchildren of these people text ❤️❤️❤️🌟⭐️✨🔥🔥🔥 to each other meaning: Love you more than stars in the sky; and love like fire can always grow the more you feed it.

Happy New Year 2024 and ❤️❤️❤️🌟⭐️✨🔥🔥🔥.

1st friend: Whenever I spoke to Ma or my Grandlady long distance by phone, they both always ended the call by saying: I love you more than stars in the sky.
2nd friend: MINE TOO!!!! Are your people from the South?
1st friend: Yep!!!! Alabama and the Carolinas. Now we text ❤️❤️❤️🌟⭐️✨🔥🔥🔥 to each other meaning almost the same thing but we added our flava to it with the fire. The fire mean: Love like fire grows the more you feed it.
2nd friend: Oh word? That joint is tight!!!!!!!

I love you

A term that is used to tell others you want to be with them and that you're their favorite person but now days it just means they like you for a week.. few months and then they will shatter your heart and never think about your well being. They think its funny and cool to break someone when in reality you can never trust someone who says "i love you" unless its yourself.

I love you.. although I'm cheating on you because you where never good enough.

no worries, I still love you

What you say to someone you are in love with but don't think they'll take you seriously. Usually said as a joking response to an adverse comment. Can be used as reverse psychology to make the other person magically hate you.

L: Ew, I hate you.
V: No worries, I still love you.

I think i’m in love with you

Something you should never say on a first date, as it will ruin the sexual tension between you and your partner. Should only be used as a way to get out of an awkward date.

Ted: I think i’m in love with you.
Robin: What?

them: i still love you but i think it's best for the both of us.
