Can an insecure person be made to feel secure by words? Oh, the pain of being in love! Succinct verse revealing that, despite her protestations, she really is needy.
My wife asks that questions occasionally. I tell her I love her every day and every night. She is the light in my darkness, the soft place I go to fall.
We are all vulnerable people to some degree and it is not necessarily to the extent of making an all-inclusive characterization that describes the complete person.
I find the poem balanced and aware. It is the equivalent of asking for a hug. Who can put a limit on how many times you need a hug or how many times you need to hear “I love you?”
The poem contains a combination of needs expressed and expressions of awareness so all told it is a sweet glimpse at a person in a loving relationship. I like the poem.
...and Heartfelt!
I believe it. Makes me want to say it!
