You should guard your love as a very precious thing, the most precious thing, and not express it in words

"Why tell someone you love them? You love them, that’s enough. Love is felt and seen; in fact, it’s the most difficult thing to hide – it is shown through how you look at someone, your gestures and your attitude, and it’s not necessary to speak of it. Humans rely too much on the verbal or written expression of their love. Once they’ve spoken of it, they think that’s settled the matter. Not at all; they speak of it over and over again, but their behaviour increasingly shows their love is fading.

You should guard your love as a very precious thing, the most precious thing, and not express it in words. In this way it gradually creates the greatest freedom in your soul, the greatest delight and magic. If you speak of it, you will soon get reactions from all sides which will create misunderstandings, and this will be a shame. Do not speak of your love, and it will live in you forever."
