I love you just the way you are.” His back goes ramrod straight as he realizes the words he just spoke. His lips part as if he’s going to say something else, but nothing comes out. I wait. And wait and wait and wait. He doesn’t say anything. Neither do I. It does nothing to counteract the way my heart begins to beat faster and faster. Love. He said it. He knows he said it. I know he said it. Yet, we ignore it.
OMG he said the "L" word!!!
