The day I
had told you
that I loved
you, all you
did after was
take me in
your arms and
hug me. To
some, that may
have not been
the response they
hoped for – most
hope for an
“I love you
too.” But I
saw this silence
for what it
was: a declaration
of your love,
without any word –
because you showed
me that I
had a place
in your heart
by bringing me
close to it.
