She wanted to tell him that she loved him...

She wanted to tell him that she loved him.
She didn't want to tell him that she loved him.
She didn't want to have to.
She wanted him to tell her.
Not that she loved him.
She didn't.

Something else.
Something subtle.

Something.

Something to subdue her greed for need.
To smother the bite of appetite.
