What are we doing?

I understand your concern and your pain
over him
but, you need to believe me
when I say
he means NOTHING.
You are my everything.
You always have been.
You always will be.
I can't imagine my life
without you.
Your eyes make me melt.
Your arms make me feel safe.
Your heart makes me feel wanted.
Your soul makes me feel loved.
Your body makes me go numb.
You make me
love life.

I see all this differently than you do
and I never meant to hurt you.
My heart and my body ache
because I hurt you
and, apparently, caused you
to hurt me back.
I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you
and I hope that you didn't mean the pain
you caused me.
I hate the idea
of you having any thoughts
that I want someone other than you
and that you obviously
are concerned over trust.
I've never given you a reason not to trust me.
Never...
but, it breaks my heart
that I've caused these thoughts in you
because this is how I felt
when I had concern and pain over her
and I know
that there is nothing more that I can say.
You have to let go
and you have to trust
and you have to believe
in me
and in us
just as I had to
and, if you can't
than what are we doing?
