How to show my girlfriend I love her in a way that actually reaches her heart?

I know the answer is time I guess. But I still get frustrated sometimes with myself because I feel like I’m failing to communicate what she truly means to me.

I’m 34, she’s 33. We’ve been together for a year and we live together now. I haven't lived with a partner in over five years I loved my independence. I never thought I’d share my space again. But she changed that. She changed everything.

I tell her I love her, every day. I try to show it in little ways making her coffee, surprising her with small things, listening to her talk even when my brain is fried from work. But I wonder if she thinks all my past relationships were like this. They weren’t. This is the first time I’ve ever really felt like I want to build a future with someone. I want to marry her.

So how to show my girlfriend I love her in a way she’ll feel, not just hear? And how do I stay patient and trust that time will show her everything I can’t quite put into words yet?

Have you ever felt like love was there, but the language to express it was missing?
