Reassurance
If I were to confess,
accept responsibility for misdeeds,
would my honesty overwhelm you?
Would you judge me,
look for the door,
or
would you still love me?
Should I sustain loss,
require support,
might I lean on you?
Would you guide me
through life’s darkest struggles
and
would you still love me?
When age leaves scars
on body and mind,
could I trust you to remain true?
If my memory of you was impaired,
years lost,
dreams gone,
would you still love me?
If I were to pass,
would you recall the love we shared?
Should you move on,
would thoughts of our life together
still warm your heart?
I need only to know,
when life is no longer as easy as today,
would you still love me?
