She waits with anticipation for the next set of words to roll off his tongue
He struggles past the nervous giggle stuck to his throat
He gathers all the nerves he can find
Eventually he whispers
“I love you” through the line
He waits through the silence for her response
But he need not wait long for almost as soon as his words finish
She says loudly “I love you too”
The slight desperation of a lovers wonder
Brings such splendor in the end
No more guessing or prolonging
You know without doubt you were meant for each other
Will You©
