I Love You

"I love you," he whispered, a big smile covering his face. I could tell he was waiting for me to say it back, but I didn't want to. No three words could ever hurt as much as the ones that just came from his mouth. They reminded me of the last person I loved, they reminded me how much I missed them. I wanted him back more than anything. Sadly, that would never happen. Instead, I put on a fake smile and said, "I love you, too."
