L-O-V-E
Heart's strongest feeling
L-O-V-E is a playful spelling-out of the word love, typically spoken aloud letter by letter for emphasis or whimsy.
It appears in song lyrics, declarations, and casual speech when someone wants to draw attention to the word: I L-O-V-E you, What is L-O-V-E?
The spelling-out often suggests affection that's earnest but lighthearted.
