Nobody wants to be the first to say…

Aw, babe. I think you know I'd be perfectly happy to be the first to say those particular words in our relationship… hell, I've been champing at the bit to say them for… well… for longer than you'd probably guess. Longer than is probably sensible…

Only thing is… I guess… from a purely technical standpoint… I'm already too late to say it first. Or the second… or even third. Or, heck, if you count “As you wish” then, dang, I'm already down by four…

Man. I'm slackin'.

Well… I hope you know it, even if my wit isn't quite as fast to pick up on those opportunities as yours is. Hope I show it in my actions, and in the way I look at you… Really, I just hope you know that…

I love you.

And I plan to tell you, every single day, for the rest of our lives, just as soon as I can.

I love you.

I love you.

I do.

Yours.
