I love you.

Three words.  Eight letters.  A million meanings.

It's such a simple phrase.  I. Love. You.  Not hard to say.  Three year olds 
say it to their parents.  Girlfriends to their boyfriends and vice versa.  So 
why can't I say it?  I say it only to myself, everyday.  No one else.  Trust 
no one and all that jazz.  But I trust her.  So why cant I say it?

She says it everyday.  Not out loud.  No, that would be too easy.  She says 
it with her eyes.  I love those eyes.  Small balls of ice blue, capable of 
saying a thousand different things alone.  Such force.  But if you were to 
dig deep, there is such venerability.  Even my Scully is vulnerable.  And its 
her eyes that give it away.

And her smile.  That smile...it's like the world has stopped rotating.  
Nothing else matters.  Because when she smiles, really smiles, its such a 
rareity that you know its genuine.  And thats when I know how much I need her.

If only I could be like that. Look at her and reveal everything, even if I 
wasn't aware of doing so.  But I can't.  Not yet anyway.

Its only three words.  Eight letters.  A million meanings.  Maybe that's why 
its so hard to say the simplest phrase ever to pass human lips.
