What Does IWALU Mean in a Text?

Expressing Love in a Text

There are over 100 novel ways to express love in a text message. Some of them were invented by the iKids (i.e., Millennials, Generation Z, and Generation A), making them just a few decades old, but many of them have been around for centuries. Here's the one that matters to you: IWALU means "I will always love you."

More Observations...

The abbreviation IWALU is an expression of eternal love. It is most often used during an ongoing relationship, but it is also used when a relationship ends. For example:

Lee: We're so lucky to have each other. IWALU.
Ali: IWALU too.

Toni: I know it's over between us, but IWALU.
Jordan: I'm sorry it had to end this way.

For many people, the term "I will always love you" brings to mind the song by Whitney Houston, from the 1992 film The Bodyguard.

"I will always love you" is also abbreviated as IWALY and as the numeronym 14643. For a full list ways to express love, check out saying "I love you" online.

An Academic Look at IWALU

IWALU is a declarative sentence (i.e., a statement). It is not typically used as a part of speech in a wider sentence. IWALYU is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Aye Dublyu Ay Ell Yoo), but as this is harder to say than "I will always love you," it is not usually said using its letters.
