"I love you this much" was a story book that I read for my children, that not only had pictures, but came with a little figure that resembled the main character and so the kids were allowed to believe that the little bunny character was actually reading or telling them his story.
Later, Gavin and I use to try to out do each other verbally about who loved the other the most. I would usually end it by envoking the word Infiniti. Mother's always win, because they have loved longer.
The way it works is in a circular type of evolution where if you love you feel like you need to learn more, and so you love more.
I was considering the various levels that I love and I considered symantics, but above all else the highest love is reserved for God, who actually always wins cause he loved us first.
Anyway, my levels of love are almost too many to place under one single word, because they do not invoke the same feeling. But, there is one love that is my favorite. It is the thing we usually feel for ourselves and it empowers us to overcome. In this case, though totally unwarranted it almost consumes me, but strangely it is part of it and causes growth. I'll try to explain.
Because I love someone, I want to be loved in return, by love I mean I want that same feeling returned, but because I love so much I am willing to forgoe my greatest want out of a want for them, above all to be happy, this increases my love.
Let me try again, it is like if you love someone enough you would sacrifice your own happiness for theirs which strangely makes you love more so you sacrifice more and so forth. It actually seems a bit silly to me but all love is actually, huh?
