He finally said "i love you"

As i looked into his eyes
and found his long stare
i stopped myself from saying words that would show hows much i care
i put my hands up to his face
to hold my feelings in
i wouldn't say those words again
to show my love for him
the last time i told him
how much he meant to me
he put my hands away from his
and said to leave him be
i never spoke those words again
for fear of his deep fright
i thought it was the last time
until that blissful night
his fingers traced around my face
pushing hair away
and i was quite unprepared
for what he was to say
my heart beat quickly, my head raced on
i thought i might cry
-he looked as if he might faint-
imagine this strong guy
but i never would be more impressed
with anything he'd do
than when he took a heartfelt leap
and said"i love you"
