I love you, he says.
But can I believe him?
Your beautiful, he says.
But is it true?
I'll never hurt you, he says.
But will he?
I'm yours forever, he says.
But is he?
I'll never leave you, he says.
But wont he?

I love you, he says.
And I believed him.

I like your poem. Those are the main things that go through a persons head when they first get into a relationship. I didn't find much of anything to critic on. Nice work.



That's just what translation is, I think. That's all speaking is. Listening to the other and trying to see past your own biases to glimpse what they're trying to say. Showing yourself to the world, and hoping someone else understands.
