"Everything you do brings a smile to my face. You make my heart skip a beat when I meet your gaze. Your beauty never fails to astonish me and your smile is so contagious," he took a deep breath, meeting my gaze steadily though his voice was shaky. "I can't even control myself when I am with you. I love you so much-" he suddenly stopped, looking like he just realised what came out of his mouth.
"Love?" If not for his surprised face and agape mouth, I would have thought I asked that question. He looked astonished, like he never expected that word to be used to describe something relating to himself. "Love..." he trailed off, testing the word in his mouth as he looked at me. I simply looked at him, not really knowing what I was feeling at this moment as his eyes searched mine. His eyes seemed to find something in mine as his surprise morphed into realisation.
"Of course! That's what it is! That's why I felt like that!" he looked both dumbfounded and relieved at this revelation.
He smiled, gently taking my hand in his as he repeated proudly.
"I love you."
(Don't ask why this just suddenly came to mind but I had to write it somewhere. Oops?)
