Pardon?

Did I hear you right?
You whispered the words
  in the darkness of night.
Maybe I misunderstood.
Maybe I heard what
  I wanted to hear,
  what I needed to hear
  to calm all my fears.
Or maybe it was all
  a dream.
Maybe you were silent
  but I heard in my head
  what I thought you said.
Or maybe I've waited 
  so long
  that you really said it
  but I thought I heard 
  wrong.
Or maybe it was spoken from
  your heart
  and it was really real
  you said what you feel-
  that you're falling in love with me.
