Ever since they met, he's craved deep in his stomach to hear those words
words heard so many times before though their potency is never lacking
as he greets her the craving builds up - working its way to his ever increasingly beating heart
He lays eyes on her and his pupils dilate
the event horizon of blackness expands ever so quickly in his eyes
the hairs on his body tingle as the opened door lets in the cool air
she draws closer as his body prepares for the familiar yet indescribable rush
as her mouth moves, ripples of sound begin to penetrate the soft tissue of his eardrum
"I"
he hears as the sound bounces its way to the second ear
he has come to the realization that his craving will soon be satiated - at least for a moment
"love"
the word flutters through his mind; a butterfly which he finally captures at long last
"you"
the moment he's been waiting for, the realization of his temporary high now completed
the pieced together words rip through him like a shock-wave
easing the craving in his stomach while super-charging his already galloping heart
a moment passes as he returns to normal
he turns a smile to her and says,
"I love you too" - satisfying her craving as well
