I Love You

Her eyes widened, Not once did I stop to notice that this was the first time These words came from my mouth. Through action yes but never once did I stop to pay attention that I've never said it before. The words that caused this sudden hesitation. I mean throughout the course of the day I've thought it. But until I seen the look on her face it struck me. Of all things how could I possibly forget that. It wasn't at all a bad thing, as most silences accompany something bad, Though silence filled the air the look on her face was in disbelief. From that moment on I sort of questioned a lot of other things, the kind of things that lead to if I did or didn't. I never was one to pay close attention to detail. The subtle hints that I very well might have overlooked. I suppose I do deserve to be hit in the back of the head As she stopped in mid sentence, I suppose just as shocked as I was. In the back of my mind I was really hoping that she wouldn't ball up her fist and hit me up side the head. All things aside, I was never good at this type of thing and on a daily basis she deserves more than what I can give but she takes it all in stride. But seriously I hope she doesn't hit me up side the head for taking this long. She is a bit violent and on top of that she is a midget, going to get a step stool would only make her madder. Her eyes now widened, eyebrows relived of any crinkle that stretched down to her nose. Leaving me without a thing to say but the words again. "I love you"
