it's a feeling

"I love you."

I looked at him funny, because that was the farthest thing I expected to come from him. I looked down and around, and eventually back into his eyes.

"How do you know?"

He touched my hand as we were walking, stopped, then he released his touch and said, "How did you just know that I just touched you?"

"I saw you grab my hand."

He looked away kind of frustrated, and said, "Ok, say you were blind; how did you know that I touched you?"

"I felt it."

"Exactly.," he wrapped his hands around my neck and I could feel the knuckles of his fingers as he warmed my neck with his hands, "I just felt it."
