How can you say,

You love me,

When I hate myself

So much?

How can you talk

So cheerfully

About the good

Inside of me,

When darkness is all

That I can see?

How can you look forward

So hopefully,

To the end of the tunnel,

If there's no light?

I, myself,

Can hardly believe in

A future so bright.

How can you state

So sincerely

'You'll be mine' ?

And convince me:

Together,

We'll be fine?

I don't know

How,

But I do know,

Now

That  you love me.

Because anything you do,

Does show.

Thank you.
