If I had a dollar...

I've heard people say "If I had a dollar for everytime I said ..."?" I'd be a millionaire."
I could use the very same phrase myself for "If I had a dollar for everytime
I said "I love you" to someone, I'd be very rich."
But in thinking about it, I'd have to say two things,
  and both are contrasting each other.
The first being, Having said "I love you" to someone
and meaning it at the time, makes me feel rich,
not so in monetary value; but in the value of being 
able to share my heart with someone 
and having them return their love
 is worth more then ANY amount of money I could ever want.
The second thing I thought of in saying "If I had a dollar for every
 time that I said I love you to someone," was if I was able to say that
 to someone, and now not feel that way,
 does that cheapen the meaning of that phrase for me?
Would those words still mean as much
 if I said them to the man I'm in love with now?
How can I know if what I think is love today,
 will not just be another faded memory tomorrow? 
 Another wasted "I love you"?
What can I say to my current love that will be worthy
of the love that I feel for him now?
It certainally is something to think about...not that I have an answer right now....
