One Question Remains

====================

I have grown close to other girls.
Learned who they are, what they like.
I've seen how they act and what they pretend to be.
None of them gave me a chance.
None of them would give me the time of day.
Then you came back into my life.
You, a close friend who disappeared from my life,
Suddenly reappearing, becoming a part of my life again.
Then we started dating.
I grew to really like you.
You pulled me out of my shell,
Showed me what it was to love.
I was sure, then, that I was in love with you.
Not just puppy love, young love, but true love.
I've spent countless hours contemplating,
Reliving our memories,
Wondering if I truly did love you,
And I've come to one conclusion,
One that shall always remain true.
I love you, honey, very dearly, very deeply,
From the bottom of my heart,
With the very essence of my soul.
You mean more than the world to me, more than life.
For you, I'd give or do anything.
My words only touch the mere surface of this ocean of emotions,
The waters that move from the inside of my very being.
Now, the only question I await the answer to,
The question I look for an answer to,
Remains in your loving hands:
- Do you love me, truly, deeply, eternally, as I do you?
