Submitted by j.byrd
Write a scene where the characters say ‘I love you’ without actually saying the words ‘I love you’.
What non-verbal things express love?
Three Words
Love has never been three words followed by a form a punctuation.
It’s the way she looks at you when you lay in bed.
How she holds your hand just a little tighter when the song that means just a little bit more comes on.
How your eyes will meet in a crowded room soon followed with a smile.
The same smile that you yearn to see after a long day.
How her laugh washes away the hardships that have come before.
The way you dance in the kitchen while making dinner. All while see sings at the top of her lungs.
The fact that she will be the only one to know you this way.
Love has never been three words followed by punctuation.
It’s always been the ways you fall in love everyday.
this is actually so sweet. love how you showed the little moments that mean everything, like holding hands a little tighter or that look across a crowded room…it feels so real and personal.
only suggestion, maybe add a couple more sensory details to make it feel even more alive. but honestly, this whole vibe is perfect!
