Loving him

Me and my boyfriend have been together for eight months now. Have been for awhile. It's just, it's getting harder everyday to not tell him that I love him. We haven't said it yet and I'm waiting for him to say it first. I let him know in other ways how much I care about him but it's just getting so hard to not tell him every time I see him. He doesn't do anything out of the ordinary and he isn't as affectionate as me. But I love him. I love every bit of him and I am so happy that I get to call him mine. We just had a talk recently where he said he knew i had strong feelings for him and I asked if he felt the same and he said yes. I hope he says it soon.
