Once I gazed on you in silence
Feared to speak a single word
Though words were trembling to be spoken
Once I smiled a wistful smile
Suppressed the love that grew inside
And called you my best friend
Once, but now no longer
Each day the love grew stronger
Until "I love you" came bursting through
And then the silence grew and grew
Just when I'd began to doubt
The silence broken
Softly, softly, as a sigh...
"I love you too"

You can feel the anticipation in your words.
And when you get to the reply of "I love you too" you just can't help but smile.

(smiles) Sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, it feels like the most happiest feeling in the world when one answers back when a lover declares love to someone. (smiles) Sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, may true loves happiness forever shine in your heart and fill you with the silence of true happiness! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lavenia, thank you for sharing!
