Will You Stay?

A free-form about how I'm scared to lose my boyfriend when I transition (I'm an FtM, pre everything). Even though I've tried to tell him it will still be the same me, just a different name, I worry.

You love me,

But do you love him?

Or do you love her?

You promised you'd stay,

Even though I'm leaving,

When I am through,

Will you still be you?

Will you feel the skin I shed,

And look for me inside,

When I was underneath,

The entire time?

Will you wilt away,

Leave your emotions behind,

Become someone else,

Thinking I did?

Do you realize,

Who I am?

What this means?

And love, will you stay?

Or will we drift apart,

The chains of our trust,

Breaking once more,

Falling to the earth,

Noiseless, excruciating,

I love you so much,

Much more than you know,

You've come this far,

Taken the first steps,

We've been together,

Walked over burning bridges,

Rescued each other from Hell,

Wiped away tears,

And kissed away pain,

But can the path exist,

With everything of this?

Can you accept me?

Or will you run?

Can you stay?

Or will you go?

I wish to know.

Author's Note

To explain a few lines:

"But do you love him,
Or do you love her?" refers to my wondering if he loves me as a girl, or if he loves me for who I am; a boy

"Will you feel the skin I shed,
And look for me inside,
When I was underneath,
The entire time?" is basically asking the question "After I've transitioned will you still try to see me as a girl, or treat me as such, instead of believing that I have changed?"
