Musings On Love 3

A funny thing happened on the way out of the supermarket...

You've heard it said that Eskimos have dozens of words for snow.
They are so familiar with it that they can characterise all its differences and give it names suited to its forms.

So if Eskimos can do that, why can't we do that with love? Where are our dozens of words?
I would have thought we were familiar with it by now and could identify it's many shades and tones.

Instead we just say "I love you".

Currently in my life I could say "I butterfly you" or "I lust you".
How about you?

I love your thoughts, because that's exactly the "problem" I have with the english language ;)
In german I find it easier to make out whether I want to say "Ich hab Dich lieb", "Ich lieb' Dich" or "Ich liebe Dich!"....
