“what is love?”

love is what I feel for you

“truly something real?”

yes, of course my dear

“is it always there?”

it is as present as I am

“what if it leaves me?”

I couldn't tear myself from you

“so I have nothing to fear then.”

nothing at all

“and I am safe.”

most certainly

“and you are here with me.”

always

“always?”

always

“that's a long time.”

not long enough to spend with you

“but darling,”

yes, love?

“what if you stop loving me?

I do not think that is possible

“it could happen.”

I think it is very unlikely

“but love is not definite.”

yes, I hate that nothing is definite

“me too.”

but never forget, a piece of me will always love you

“how small a piece?”

as much as my heart allows

“but you love me now?”

with all my being

“I think-”

yes, my sweet?

“I think I love you too.”

and to that, I smile
