I don't understand how someone as sweet and kind as you can exist--
it seems so unreal to me.
I thought this world cruel and dark,
but you have shown me its tenderness and light.
How can you love someone who will forever be haunted by demons of the mind?
I doubt that's even possible.
Please, tell me,
are you even real?
Surely you are a figment of my ever-active mind--
I'm not worthy of this love.
How can you see my flaws and still say that I'm beautiful?
Did I make you up in my head?
Is this just a dream?
No, you can't exist--
because no one in the world is capable of loving someone like me.
Am I wrong to think this way?
Surely you cannot blame me--
it is the monsters' evil doing.
Thank you, dear one, for listening to my insanity.
Despite my doubt,
despite my fear,
you hold me and tell me it's ok,
that I am worthy of your kindness.
You kiss me softly,
whispering sweet words of encouragement as I snuggle up next to you.
How wonderful it feels to have your warmth beside me.
Never have I been held this way before.
Please tell me,
is this real?
