He didn’t say it back

I whispered in the intensest time of passion. It was whispered in a way he would feel the words and not just hear them… but he didn’t say it back? I waited for a few minutes thinking “he didn’t hear me”.. I said it again Just a little louder? I was sure he could hear me say it, but he didn’t say it back?!

Fear swept over me I started to tingle from my head to my chest.. I waited to repeat it when I knew he could hear me.. but he didn’t say it back!!. My heart was pounding hard. I know he had to have heard me!!.. I thought “Maybe I didn’t hear him say it ?” Just Maybe it was as soft as the first time I whispered it.

I could tell he liked how much passion I showed to him., by the way he just laid on top of me sighing and breathing heavy and then he uttered, “That was so amazing and intense”,” .. He shifted to the side and gave me a kiss on my forehead . I was so scared to try and say it again, but It was killing me!! I just had to hear him say! The burning inside grew while I fought back my tears .. I gently cupped his face in my hands and with a puzzled gaze I spoke those words, ” I LOVE YOU”.. and he didn’t say it back!!!.

I just laid there …trying to pretend nothing bothered me ..I had to turn my head to the side so he wouldn’t see the tears flowing down my cheek.. Thoughts started to race through my head about how distant and cold he had become … I assumed it was because of the financial problems with our business. I had caught him crying a few times and I told him,”whatever happens we will work it out ,we always do”..

Focusing back to the darkened room, He was pulling up his boxers with his back facing me…. He said softly “I’m in love with someone else “.

I then realized “I BECAME THE OTHER WOMAN”
