(My boyfriend and I are were in a long-distance relationship for three and a half years, but he has finally graduated and moved back home. We’re not usually particularly talkative about feelings, so I’m surprised when I see him with a mushy expression on his face as he looks at me.)

Boyfriend: “I love you. I can’t even begin to—oh, wait yes I can.”

Me: “Aw, thank you. That was very romantic.”

Boyfriend: *proudly* “I know!”

Me: “And I love you, too.”

Boyfriend: “I was going to say ‘I can’t even put it into words’, and then I realized that was EXACTLY WHAT I WAS DOING.”
