It was the wee hours of the morning, but I couldn't sleep.

Earlier in the day, I had sung her a song on my guitar. It was different than all the songs I usually sing to her, though.

This song had "I love you" hidden in it, and I was slightly disappointed when she didn't seem to pick up on it.

I was lying in bed hours later thinking about her as always, when a text lit up my phone screen with these words:

"Please don't say you love me, cos I might not say it back."

All at once bitter disappointment came crashing down around me and I let my phone drop down onto the floor.

It was the hardest night of my life and it never seemed to end.

But when finally I woke up the next morning and picked up my phone, there was a message on there that I hadn't seen.

"But that doesn't mean I won't sing it to you."



P.s. She did sing it to me
P.s.s. I am in the middle of writing her a proposal song
