He was a little surprized that i felt that way so soon, he told me thank you for the honor. a few days or maybe a week went by and i actually said the words. He said that my poem had started him thinking about the depth of our realtionship. And he said the words back to me. Then he explained that He wouldnt say the words often beacuse to him they were used too freely and lost alot of meaning to him during his life, and that he hoped i understood that he expressed them with his actions not necessarily with his words. And i do. I say it to him when i please (because i feel compelled to say them) He always smiles and strokes my face and looks into my eyes and says in his gruff tone "you know I feel the same slave." it just melts me right there.
Oh this is sweet. Master said "I feel the same as you", when I said I love you. And for me this is much better than "I love you ,too" as in German people often leave out the word love when they just say it back... Some say "Ich dich auch." Literally "I you ,too" Which I think is really poor. I know that it is really hard for him to say this, so I value every verbal expression of his love very highly.
Also I think you donīt have to say it all the time, itīs just so sweet to know..
