"My feelings about you never..." — what verb can I use?
I am trying to say I always have feelings about you in a different way:
My feelings for you never __
My first thought was reduced, but it seems that reduce is for size.
(I remember hearing something similar in some movies, but I can't remember the name of it.)
What's a good word to use here?
Solution 1:
Without more context, it's difficult to know, but I'd try "Faded" (means the same as "reduced") or "changed".
Solution 2:
Here's some more
- faltered
- diminished
- waned
- wavered
Solution 3:
I'd suggest change, and also I think it's better to use for you instead of about you:
My feelings for you never change.
Solution 4:
It really depends on what you want, but how about "My feelings for you have not waned"? It's a bit poetic if that's what you're going for. A bit more dramatic: "My feelings for you have not died." If you want straightforward, go for Cool Elf's "change." All the other suggestions are also appropriate. I like TecBrat's "faded," too.
Solution 5:
Either "waned" or "wavered" would work well in this situation. You could also try "varied."
