Can I say I love you?

I just moves to LA. New start. New life. I didn't expect what can happen. But I realy didn’t expect that will happen to me.
"You can go now" I said while tears coming down my face.
"I don't want to, do you want me to go?"
"I don't know ok?"
"You should have known by now!" I freezed by the sound of his cracking voice
"But I don't.. what can I say…"
"you can say I love you.."
We both stood in an awkward silence
"can I say I LOVE YOU?"
