Love II - 7. My Heart Will Always Win With You

My heart never doubts you.

It knows you love me,

knows how much you love me.

But my head still wonders

why you love me,

how you can love me.

My heart feels and rejoices.

My head thinks and doubts.

My head will always create its own hell.

It will make me lie in bed awake and agonize

over the meaning of a word,

the significance of a gesture.

It will let my insecurities run wild

dragging me through every dark corner

that houses every shadow of doubt within my soul.

But my heart will always win with you.

It will read love into everything you say,

every soft word, every gentle gesture.

And it will drive away the doubts and push them back

into the farthest corners of my mind.

It will warm my soul with the implicit understanding

that your love for me is real and unconditional.

My head and my heart will always be at odds,

will always war within me for control of my soul.

But my heart will always win with you.
