<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

We've been together for a little more than 4 months and I know that's relatively early but I'm in love with him. I know I am because it almost slips out and I almost say it several times a day. It really takes all I have not to say it... again. 

I say 'again' because after a night at the bar I was feeling that drunk-love that probably doesn't actually mean anything... Back at his place in bed the next morning, it slipped out while cuddling and I told him I loved him. Then the longest most awkward silence ever. So I ended the silence by saying I was hungry and got dressed and we went to Burger King. 

The next several hours were still awkward and I was thinking I'd ruined everything. I was distant and short with him and we ended the day early and I went home. We texted later that evening and he told me that he wasn't expecting that (my saying I loved him) and that was why there was a silence. I played it off and said I wasn't ready for [saying] that either (both coming from harsh break-ups). 

I do still love him, of course, and its even more obvious now how deeply his feeling go for me. I get everything from him but the WORDS.. I don't know why the words mean so much when his actions are clear... 

I do know its still early.. But later on down the road, do I wait for him to say it or is he waiting for me? I've almost resigned myself to keep biting my tongue because its too scary to go out there on a limb like that again. That silence was a killer!
<bot>: I've told my bf (prematurely) that I loved him. Now that I know I do, and I'm pretty sure he does, should I tell him again or do I keep waiting for it?
