Later on, after our discussion,
I go over every word.
I remember every expression
With everything I heard.
Maybe you do care a little.
I’m trying to figure out
For though You may have reassured,
I am still in doubt,
You made an effort to mend a rip
To the seams of our being.
Though You may be convincing,
I’m careful to not start believing.
