I Still Wonder



I love you with all my heart
And I trust you even more.
But sometimes I still wonder
Do I truly make you happy?

Do my words soothe away the pain?
Do my whispers ease the sadness?

Does my touch still turn you on?
Does my voice catch your attention?

I know you tell me that I am crazy.
That I shouldn’t worry of such things.
I don’t know what causes me to.
I know the words you say are true
I know your heart is filled with love.

So why can’t I simply accept this
Amazing and tender gift that you give
Why can’t I live with the conviction
That my heart holds so strong?

I know it bothers you that I have these
Insecurities that haunt my thoughts.
I wish they wouldn’t… I wish they’d leave.
But they bury themselves so deep
In the mist of past hurt and heartbreak.

Just hold me tight to your beating heart.
And let me hear the love that beats so strong.
Whisper words those words of love
That chase away the demons of the past
That won’t let go of my frightened soul.
I swear I believe in you and who you are
I promise never to let go of your love.
Using your never ending strength and faith
To get me through… to become whole.

Just promise that you won’t desert me here.
Promise not to abandon me…leave me alone
And my heart will hold strong to those soft promises.

I think that we should be careful not to let questions and fears rule our hearts because then we could truly drive love away. I have heard it said that if you think something long enough you could make it come true. Listen well, dear one, to his words of love and let them feed you while they driving away all the fears that would starve you of love. A wonderfully honest poem. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

A sincere, heartfelt write...well expressed.
I know you've found true love with Dave  
and it's natural to have these feelings, with time they'll fade  

Take care,

Listen when he says he loves you, believe it with all your heart, and banish your fears as best you can. I'm sure he's trying very hard to help you overcome them. You've written this very well, with your true emotions. Let him see this, and he'll love you all the more, I'm sure. Beautiful poem for your love.

Thank you all for responding.  I know each of you are completely correct.  I know it in my heart.. but sometimes my brain likes to cause trouble I suppose. *hugs* to all of you.

I think we all have some negative experiences with love in our past that have discouraged us from believing in the beauty of love...as love revisits us we need to believe in love and embrace the beauty of love with open arms...James

We all have those moments of wonder hit us at times, the real trick is seeing them and not letting them take over.  A very nice way to let out those feelings and I much enjoyed.

Again, thank you all for stopping in.  The past few weeks have been stressful here, and I think it caught up to me...and I got way over emotional.. which I have a serious habit of doing *chuckles*  Thank you for your concern, and I'm glad you all liked it.
