My heart goes crazy. When you pause like a colon.

            I have something to tell you:

It only took a second for my heart to completely stop. That pause, oh god that pause, please no. This cannot be happening. Why is this happening? I thought everything was going smoothly. What is wrong? What did I do? Please let me fix whatever it is. I want to stay with you. Enjoying every day with you. Do not end this now! Please –

            I love you

Those three words reverberates throughout my body. Wait. Was that me or was it you? I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I am confused. Oh, it was you. You repeated yourself and said it again. I am so happy! You love me too. What more can I ask for?

            I love you—.

You are freaking out. Why? You did nothing wrong. You made me so happy. Oh, I see, tears are falling down my cheeks. I cannot stop the tears and the smile gracing my face. Do not worry though I am happy. I love you too.
