Self Conviction

I know I love you-
Why should I have to prove this to myself?
But you don’t love me because you don’t trust me-
Or must I admit, there’s no love at all?

If love could only infect you like it did me
I’d bear the brunt of a rhinoceros
Would it were to infect you with my love for thee.

I am unfit for such a proclamation
My track record with woman is shady at best
I fear that you won’t put our love to the test
Or have you already and you’re just holding out?

My heart cannot bear it.
Don’t you know you’re destroying me?
I wish you every joy in the world though,
Because I love you.

I can only miss you
And hope that some day you
Will love me too.

If fire could burn as hot
as the one in my soul when I’m with you
we could heat a city.

Lying next to you
Loving the feeling of warmth and relief
While I’m with you
And your presence tells my mind:
My god she’s finally here.
