My Biggest Fear

My biggest fear isnt that youll lie to me one day or that you'll cheat on me. My biggest fear is that you'll wake up on Tuesday morning and instead of leaning in and kissing me on the cheek you'll look at my sleeping body and start to see all my flaws. My crooked nose, my chapped lips, the stretch marks spreading along my stomach and thighs like a road map. You'll think about my random spouts of jealousy and the fact that I talk too much. You'll remember how annoying it is that no matter what I am always right and just how selfish I can be sometimes. You'll walk into the kitchen and brew a cup of black coffee; and stare into the pale rays of sunlight and thats when you'll decide to leave.

True love is deeper than physicality. To me love is sharing a common purpose. We are what we are, Amanda. Your poem moved me to comment, that's a good thing. Right?
