“There’s nothing left,” I quipped, “to entertain
between our lives if you’re unsure of my
devotion.” So she answered me, “Too bad
we can’t explore realities beyond
pure surety.” And I replied, “But if
I can’t rely on trust that you will trust
the words I love you, how am I to prove
consistency and faithfulness and love?”
She held her words like silent breath, “And must
you prove yourself to me?” I tried to shift
the conversation; she replied, “I’m fond
of you, but too aware how fickle sad
emotions are.” Words couldn’t satisfy
her; and she whispered: “Hush now. Don’t explain.”

I wish I could turn the love part of my brain off for a bit...
