Feeling vulnerable... and hurt.

So last night my boyfriend and I made love, and it just keeps getting better and better every time we get together. I finally got up the courage to tell him how I really feel, that he's the love of my life. He responded with, "I love you sweetie."

This morning he could tell I wasn't feeling up to par, and he asked what was wrong. I told him I was embarrassed about what I had said and he responded, "I know."

Saying goodbye this morning he said, "baby you're so down!"

I responded with, "well yeah, it hurts a little."

Was I wrong to have confessed my feelings? I'm feeling really low and stupid for having thought he felt the same way. Everything has been so wonderful and I've never felt this way about anyone...

Maybe he does feel the same way, just has a hard time saying it because he hasn't said it before?

I just want someone who's had this experience before to tell me it's going to be okay..
