There’s no clearer way to express love and affection than with words and to let someone know you’re thinking of them.
If you aren’t the most articulate person, there’s no phrase simpler than “I love you” or “I care about you” to let someone know what they mean to you. However, if you want to express yourself more colourfully, there are plenty of quotes and messages already out there to get your point across.
