Saying I love you
Is not the words
I want to hear from you

I love you…three words that were always shown and yet never said.

It started way before the war ended, back when they were mere children travelling around the world in the name of freedom. Freedom, from the hands of his own father the Fire lord and of those before him.

He never knew how it grew but he was certain it started with a heart to heart talk and a punch on the shoulder.

"That's how I show affection…" that was what she said.

What would you do
If my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real

He was left in front of the altar, in her bridal dress with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry" Mai told him before she walked away from him forever.

She left him for another man, he never caught his name and he never planned on knowing.

He thought he'll never recover from it but I guess miracles do happen even with a scarred prince like him.

What would you say
If I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

She was there for him in his darkest hour, as he sulked around about how hurt he was and what he did to deserve everything horrible that had happened in his life.

"Shit happens, Sparky. The best way to deal with it is to just suck it up, move on and never look back."

He glared at the earth bender's insensitivity and said she would never understand what he's going through.

"Everyone gets heart broken from time to time, every one of us, even me"

Her expression changed as she said the last to words to him. And a certain water tribe warrior popped on her mind. She had been hurt too just like him.

Now that I've tried to
talk to you
and make you understand
all you have to do
is close your eyes
and just reach out your hands

Both of them were never the romantic type nor did they go for publicly showing around their feelings.

So it surprised them both when their lips met with one another out of anger. And everyone else who got to witness it was either shocked or simply confused most especially Sokka who was trying his best to understand how from fighting one another to the death switched into long make-out session.

And touch me
More than words
Is all I ever
needed you to show
then you wouldn't have to say
that you love me
cos I'd already know Hold me close
don't ever let me go

It was the day the two of them were waiting for. A day where their hearts would officially become one for all eternity.

It was his second time where he was waiting in front of the altar. Despite the fact that he was left there the first time around, he was actually glad that the most horrible day in his life happened because he wouldn't get to experience the most wonderful day in his life.

She was his greatest ally, his personal adviser, his strength when he didn't have any and his ever stubborn, ever loud and enchantingly beautiful Toph.

The two smiled as they sealed their vows with a kiss.

More than words
Is all you have to do
To make it real
Then you wouldn't
Have to say
That you love me
Cos I'd already know

As he lovingly looked down as his petite wife holding his first born child in her arms, Zuko couldn't ask for a better life.

More than words

I love you…three words that were never needed to be said, only shown.
