 　　His Own Way to Express Love

　　Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn't do anything romantic; we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future. This was pretty much what I had expected.

　　Andy is an unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken(直言不讳)girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that he is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.

　　I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If one does not love you the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.

　　One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续).When I was put on a drip(点滴),he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender(温柔的)voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I fell asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling(咕哝地说)to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment, I found love in his eyes.

　　Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.

　　My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understands my like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
