I Love You, But...

...you are a moron.
There are many ways of expressing your love to your friends/lovers etc. You can say it directly, or your actions may speak for you. Your gift, or a letter may show your love. It's up to you. But the most common way is to tell. For this purpose, English language has a sentence which is quite plain and easy to pronounce:
"I love you."
As you can see, there is no "but" at the end of the sentence. Some people add a tiny word "but" at the end of this sentence. Like;
- I love you, but we can't be together
- I love you, but this is too much for me.
...
It ever goes on. The word "but," according to my dictionary is used for introducing something in contrast or unexpected. Let's take a closer look then. What's in contrast with love? Hate? Maybe but it'd be a bit harsh. Let's say the person setting up that sentence with the word but at the end of it is actually trying to tell that person that he/she is not in love with him/her. Because when you add anything more than a period, a but, it creates contradiction, and behind it, tells the very truth that he/she is not in love.
So, when someone says "I Love you but..." to you, only his/her mouth speaks of love. Focus on the part after the word "but", because the "I love you" thing is there just to soften the truth.
