asking too much.
her head is full of silly thoughts
her heart cannot contain.
her mouth just wants to shout them out;
her head whispers, "refrain."
so the thoughts build up in secret,
teeth clenched, holding them in
she cannot trust him fully,
but she's fallen too far in.
she's fallen into love with him
in no uncertain terms.
but the love creates suspicion,
one which she confirms.
her heavy heart, now overburdened,
slows its steady pace.
"I love you," he assures her,
wiping salt-tears from her face.
earnestly and lovingly,
forgiveness he does beseech
but trust is built up day by day,
through actions, not through speech.
wrapped up in his warmth and love,
she forgives with no regret,
but she needs proof of something more
in order to forget.[/font]

Unfortunately, this is more or less how my last love affair crashed and burned. In a really bizarre way she betrayed me. Not in any concrete way, but one day she decided that she didn't like me as a person. And less than a week before she was telling me she loved me. Go figure.
