is love to trust or is love to make sure?
is love to look back just because not seeing your lover
will haunt you in your sleep,
and will inevitably drive you mad?
or is it because you just have to make sure
that they're still there,
no, they will not leave,
but there's this looming fear,
that the presence behind your back,
was nothing but a comfort
your psyche has made for you?
