Why does 14643 mean "I will always love you?"

This type of shorthand for various "I love you" phrases started in the 1890s, when people began associating a lighthouse's pattern of flashing once, then four times, then three times, with the phrase "I love you." 143 has since become common text and chat slang, and the inspiration for other abbreviations like 14643, 1437, and 1432.
