Waiting To Hear Those Three Words

Patiently waiting to hear 
those three words.

She is the first thing that he thinks of when he wakes in the morning.
He draws her a bath to soak her aching body.
He lights candles throughout the house to relax her mind.
He massaged her body to loosen her muscles from the stiffness of her disease.
He cooks for her and he brings her water so she will stay hydrated, because he knows how important it is for her health.
He goes to her when she is sick and cannot move because of her disease.
To make her life easier, he will do as many chores for her that he can, so she will not have to worry.
His love for her is unconditional. He would go to the end of the Earth and back for her.
And in return he asks for nothing.
He waits patiently to hear those three words.
