And there they are
Three little words I have longed for you to say,
Slipped, unexpectedly into a text,
Delighting me
You say them aloud for the first time
Rolling the phrase around your mouth
Exploring the form of each word with your tongue
Testing the sensation
You say it again,
More confident now
Meeting my certainty with a sureness of your own
Your words make me grin
I
Love
You
