Those moments of weakness are perfectly fine and you're at the right place to share them. I have them all the time. I often just wants to look into WW's eyes and say "My love" and hug her. Not the coolest or most appropriate thing under the current circumstances... What's important is not to act on these weaknesses. My WW doesn't want me to tell her I love her, nor does your XW wants you to jump at the slightest positive signs. Quite the opposite: if you want to receive more positive signs, you have to show her it's safe to send them, that you won't overreact. In fact, they may crank up if you don't react, to test you.
I think your message was fine and you got a good response. I'll just repeat my previous advice: Lose the exclamations points! Not very manly, right?
