i sometimes grow
concerned
worried
you don’t quite know
what i mean
when i say
i love you
that you
hear the words
flash back
to sweaty teenage need
or hear all of the times
it was spoken
but turned out to be
a lie
when i say them
it is all encompassing
it is totality
it is a man
saying words
he knows
can not
will not
ever be taken back
it is
an oath
a vow
a solemn pledge
a whispered truth
as binding
as any covenant
ever made
it is
my every cell
in agreement
every nerve firing
in unison
it is
heart
body
soul
and mind
speaking as one
they are not
easily spoken words
but when let loose
into the world
they are words
that should harbor no doubt
look into my eyes
as i say them
there
fall
into my stare
see
that is what love
looks like
manifested
How beautifully you expressed the truth of her uncertainty vs the truth of his.

there is always a question, even if never voiced. seems fair to smash disillusion

Yes, always a question. Even with such stunning reassurance.

all you can do is prove yourself day after day. consistently. there are bad days and good days but as long as you stay true, it is supposed to overcome. maybe it’s me being a hopeless romantic.
