well, I think that people go through various stages in love.
The first stage is when you believe that saying ILU is more important than meaning it, when you believe in PDA (Public Display of Affection), when you can't keep your hands off each other, when you do all those cheesy things for each other etc. Basically at that time you are immature and so is your love
Then the second stage is when you become more subtle in your expression of love. It's not puppy love anymore, but something more meaningful, something deeper. Now you don't need to hold hands all the time to feel that you're together, now you don't need to say " Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam, pyar hota hai deewana sanam" to prove that u r in love with the person.
The Third stage is the 'Companionship' stage where you have truly realized the meaning of love---that love goes beyond mere physical attraction, when you learn to give selfless love, when just waking up with each other in the morning itself is romantic. When you don't need to say anything and your partner can just get what you want to say by looking in your eyes... things like cards, valentine's day etc have become redundant
I think each one of us goes through these stages. At each stage of your relationship, you experience a different kind of love.
