I Hope I'm Enough

Sometimes I wonder:

'Am I even worth it?' ...

I know it's a common question,

'Cause I know we're not perfect...


But sometimes, just sometimes

I wonder how we are...

How we are as a couple,

do we seem close, or far? ...


Sure, I make you smile.

Sure, I make you laugh...

But am I really that someone

you can call your other half?


First, there's our age, 

we are quite far apart...

But they say "Age doesn't matter."

It's what's in the heart...


But as I keep thinking,

do we even relate?

Do we always click?

Do we have the same traits?


I know, I know

they say "Opposites attract"...

But am I really that opposite

that would become your match?


If I were to be honest,

If I were to not lie...

I sometimes pretend 

to know what you like...


'Cause I often can't relate

to what you share to me...

But seeing that you like it,

I pretend to be happy...


I am really happy

to see you smile and laugh...

But it often hurts whenever

I can't fit in in your class...


I know this is stupid,

the way I'm thinking right now...

'Cause you'd probably still love me

despite my many doubts...


I just want to be with you,

to like the things you like...

so we don't have to argue about choices,

so we don't have to fight...


I want to walk the same path as you.

Wherever you are, I'll be there... 

'Cause I'd risk anything for you.

I know that seems unfair...


I just feel so lost.

I just feel so envious...

I want to be what I think you'd want,

but I'll never be--that's obvious...


I'm sorry that I am so down, 

that I feel like I'm gonna cry...

'Cause I doubt myself and my worth to you,

I doubt not your flaws, but mine...


My love, do you really think

that I would make you happy?

Do you really want me to be that person

in the future you will marry?


I really hope to be that person.

I really want to tell you "Yes"...

I hope we have those matching rings,

I get to wear that white long dress...


As I conclude this long message,

This poem meant for you...

I guess these doubts will just be thoughts

never meant to become true...


'Cause we both know that no matter what

our love is stronger than a thought...

Having you with me, having me with you

is already more than a lot...


I love you, Allen...

I hope I'm enough...
