aww
Heart melts here
Aww is an exclamation of sympathetic or sentimental response, typically to something endearing, cute, or touching: Aww, look at the puppy!
It can also express mild disappointment or sympathy: Aww, that's too bad.
The spelling stretches to match the sound—more w's for more feeling.
