She gave him a hard time about this. Yes, it was obvious by the way he acted, the way he treated her, alone, and with others; true that she felt completely secure, and that she never once felt unloved, but couldn't he say it, just this once? She talked herself into thinking that if he couldn't bring himself to say it, he really didn't feel it.
He expressed his feelings on a constant basis. She heard it. She read it. She wore it. Constantly showered by the affection she was due. His words poured out like rays of the sun finally bursting through a cloud-filled sky. Yet there were times she felt unsure of his true feelings. What!? After he's been expressing them all this time?! It was something about his actions that troubled her.
She felt she was probably a bit selfish. Nothing anyone did pleased her, because she wanted too much. Through it all however, she had to admit, that given the two extremes, she would choose to know by actions rather than by words.

Words without actions always ring hollow, actions without words feel incomplete. But the words may one day come under the weight of the actions.
Actions speak louder than words. I trust those more.
True Bashment, but Balance is always best.
