Self doubt

Is my voice like music to your ears?

Is my face the one you want to see?

Is my laugh the one you want to hear?

Do you really love just me?

You say my hands are soft

You say that I am dear

You call my eyes beautiful

When you hold me near

Are you being honest?

Are you being true?

Do you really want me

To be this close to you?

You call me ‘very pretty’

You call me ‘gorgeous’, too

You hold me close and smile

As if I have a clue

Do you really feel like this?

Do you truly like me this way?

Maybe the answer will come

If I ask another day.
