'Love'
It was one nickname, one nickname that made me pause.
I'd heard many others before, such as 'dear' or 'angel', but this one..
There was something special about this one; that was clear from the start.
I had to re-read the message over five times, my breath in my throat.
One little, stupid nickname and yet it sent me to la-la-land.
As the butterflies swarm, heart in my throat, I'd realize I'd do anything to hear that again.
