Please say that again...
No don't leave I need this...
I've waited...far to long for you to leave again...

I looked up at him...
I wanted to tell him that I loved him, that I needed him ,and I've always wanted him...to be with me.
But I did nothing.
He awaited my answer but I could not move.
I stood there and stared.
Not believing what words came from his mouth...
He looked away as if regretting his confession. He began to walk away.
Flustered.
Embarrassed?
Don't let him leave..
Don't...
I take his hand, stopping him in his tracks. I put both of my hands around his and look down.
" Can you say that... One more time... Please..."
I wish to hear them once more... those three words...
His body pressed against mine.
He leaned over to my ear and whispered them... Filling the once open hole in my heart... Making me feel...complete...
I buried myself in his chest .
All the emotions that refused to come out earlier started to flood out of me.
I couldn't control myself.... He loves me.
I'm so happy
I can finally tell him... The words I've rehearsed over and over in my head.
I looked up at him and smiled.
He smiled as if knowing what I was about to say.
He leaned down and I whispered in his ear...
"I love you too"
