Sometimes you lacked any confidence in yourself and currently it was far worse than it had been recently. Being in a relationship with August generally made you feel better, giving you hope for the future but when you allowed yourself time to ponder the difference the two of you had, you only begun to feel worse. You were able to see only positives when you looked at the man you loved, seeing everything he had achieved and all the attributes that had meant you fell in love with him in the first place; when you looked at yourself though, you only saw things that made your heart sink.

You tried to keep such thoughts to yourself, but August was good at reading you and when he found you lost in your thoughts, he knew there was something playing on your mind.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked, sitting down beside you.

"Oh, nothing," you lied.

August cocked an eyebrow at you, seeing through your lie with ease.

"Are you sure about that?" He said with a gentle smile, encouraging you to talk to him.

You let out a sigh, knowing it was futile to keep lying to him as he would get the answer out of you anyway. You didn't want to lie to him in the first place, but you felt rather stupid with what was stuck in your mind.

"I just don't feel good enough for you," you said, letting out a sigh.

August gave you a pitiful smile, wrapping an arm around you.

"Why would you think that?" He asked.

You shrugged your shoulders. "I just feel like someone who is so smart and handsome with such a kind heart, could never love someone like me. I don't see what makes you want to put up with me when you could have anyone else in the world. It just feels like you will end up falling out of love with me because there really isn't anything there to love."

He leaned in to press his lips to your temple, holding your hand firmly within his. If only you could see how much he truly loved him and that he felt as though you were worth far more than him.

"I love you today, and I'll love you tomorrow and everyday after that," he assured you, squeezing your hand to make sure you knew how much he cared for you.

"Really?" You whispered.

"I promise."
