electronic affection.

a pause.

i might not have seen it
in your eyes
nor could i have seen
any sort expression
as a physical hint.

but that little pause
said it all.

a hesitation.

realizing the three little words
i just said
were a reality.
not your imagination.
a flutter in the back of your head.
yes.
i said it.
it's true and genuine.

and such a reaction
melted my heart
into a lovely little puddle.
you could have just been saying it -
i didn't doubt you, though –
but that little pause
really let me know

that you loved me too

and you do.
