14643 means "I will always love you." It is a numeronym, i.e., a creative use of numbers to represent words based on their letter count. In this case, "1" stands for "I", "4" represents the four letters in "will", "6" for "always", "4" again for "love", and "3" for "you." It is a succinct and cute way to convey a powerful message.

14643 is most often used during an ongoing relationship, but it is also used when a relationship ends. As with the other abbreviations associated with expressing love, 14643 can be interpreted as less sincere than actually saying or typing those "magic words." However, it can also express genuine heartfelt devotion. Context is key! For example:

Sam: You are the light of my life. 14643.
Ali: And you are my reason to live. 14643.

Jo: You are so special to me. 14643.
Bernie: Are you drunk again.

Chris: I'm sorry it has to end this way.
Lee: 14643.

I will always love you is also abbreviated as IWALU and IWALY.
