Doubt

Believe it or not, this is a love poem.

I love her.

I am not and will not toss the word

LOVE

around.

So when I say I love her...

I mean it.

But there is doubt.

There is always doubt.

Doubt is not always a bad thing.

Let me explain

Doubt in a relationship

is usually equated to a lack of trust.

But that's not always the case.

I love her

and because I love her

I have doubt.

When someone in your life

makes your life worth living

then you have to have doubt

you have to have fear

otherwise

well, otherwise

you don't really love that person

as much as you think you do.

Because,

while it doesn't have to be much,

you always have

some amount of fear and doubt

when something you have keeps you

off of the brink of extinction.

It's when that doubt and fear

is as small as it can be

that you know you're perfect

 

that you know she's perfect.

I love her.
