He cups her face in his hands, he wants to lover her but her heart has a shield. pushing him away. shes been hurt to bad, she protects herself with everything she has! he never pushes things when she pulls away. His respect for her is just as deep as his love.
He wants to be with her, he wants to hold her till her tears evaporate. He loves her but has no idea how to tell her.
She stands there feeling the warmth of his love and his hand on her face. She can see just how much he loves her by the look in his eyes. Is this just another trick? Another way to break her heart? Shes glad he respects her and her fear of being hurt. She feels the shield go up as she starts to pull away. Why cant she trust him? Why cant she let her shield drop to the ground and shatter into a million pieces?
She wants to trust him, she wants to love him, and she wants him to hold her until the break of dawn. She has no idea how to tell him she loves him, and she has no idea how to drop the shield.
They both stand there gazing into each others eyes. She's tired of hurting him. He's tired of her pulling away. This is the end for him, this will be his final goodbye. He kisses her on the check and starts to walk away, and says goodbye as tears shape her face.
"I love you" she drooped her shield as her heart is about to be broken once more.
"What?" shock and disbelief form in his mind.
She places her hand on the back of his head and kisses him. Now he knows.
