To him, its an unspoken given.

Because he struggles to tell you how he truly feels.

He carries his emotions locked away in his heart, making sure they never slip out.

He might not mouthI love you, but his heart beats it every day.

Every time he sees you.

Every moment you spend together.

Every time he gets to wake up to another beautiful morning with you by his side.

And his eyes say it too.

Every time they stop and silently linger on you for a moment longer than you expect.

The way they cradle you tightly to his chest, reluctantly letting go.

Because hes scared of rejection.

Because hes not comfortable with the magnitude of his own feelings.

Because hes been hurt before and he cant begin to imagine going through hellagain.

And arent we all afraid of that?

He might not whisperI love you, but hes sure you already know.

Hes certain that his actions have painted his feelings loud and clear.

To him, its an unspoken given.

The way he grips your hand a little tighter as you cross a busy road.

The love he holds for you could never possibly be done justice by those three tiny words.

His love for you weighs so much more thanI love you.
