“If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.”
Express love actively.
If you wish to express your feelings of love or affection, you must actively communicate them. Just as a message needs to be sent for it to be received, love needs to be expressed to be understood and acknowledged. The analogy of keeping a lamp burning with oil implies that maintaining a connection or relationship requires ongoing effort and investment. Silence may leave the other person guessing, but honest words and gestures bring clarity. Love, when shared openly, becomes a source of light that strengthens the bond between hearts.
Just as you must add oil to a lamp to keep it lit, you must continually nurture and invest in your relationships to keep them strong and alive. Small acts of care, words of affirmation, and consistent presence are the oil that keeps love glowing. Neglect can dim the flame, but steady attention allows it to shine brightly. Love is not something that thrives on its own; it needs your active participation. When you give it the care it deserves, it will continue to warm and guide both hearts.
