IN A NUTSHELL

You know
That I love you
I know
That you love me
And for that, I am grateful
But love doesn't automatically mean forever
And you cannot have forever without love
Separate entities, dependent on one another for their ultimate survival
But I digress
I'm afraid once you get to really know me
You will discover that
I am flawed
My dimples don't always show
I don't always smell great
And I don't have all the answers
I know what I know
And that's it
But I know you know that
But because I've learned so much from you
I remain hopeful
You are so wise
I find that you are just as deep as me
No...deeper!
I so want to see life through your eyes
I bet the colors are just spectacular
And despite all you've heard
Youre still here
I have yet to scare you off
And you haven't run away
Why?
Because...
You know
That I love you
I know
That you love me
And that's it...
In a nutshell
