3am calls you from another city. She's drunk. She's had a long day but she wants to make sure you're okay. She's twenty-something but she has an old soul. She's slurring. "You're on speaker right now, don't be rude. Say Hi to my mama". you want to tell her that you love her daughter, that you want to hold her in your arms like a bird in its nest, that you can see the edge of the universe when you look into her eyes, that she's beautiful, in the way that makes everything else matter, in the way that makes everything else not matter too. She commands attention. She doesn't have to beg for it. You want to tell her mother that you're ready to say goodbye to your past so that you can have future with her, that you're taking one last step back so you can keep moving forward, your heart settles for a moment and all you say is "Hi Mom".
of course you love 3am, She hurt for you when you were hurting even though she was hurting too. She taught you the difference between spirit and strength. She chose you and you didn't even have to ask. She says she wants to see you. She's hopping on a plane so she wraps her wings around you soon. She slurs those three words and you're grateful that you took the time to empty your heart of hate and everything that wants to destroy love. So that you could fill it up with hers. So that when 3am says I love you in the voice of a pretty girl who is drunk as fuck, you can wholeheartedly say "I love you too".
The entire question summing up here, did you tell her?
