How?

How do you prove LOVE?
Isn't it said that Love resides on faith and faith alone?
So when he asks me to prove it,
what shall I say?

How do you tell someone you don't love them back
whenever they're right in front of you,
crying,
Because they've known you for eternity?

And how do you reject the ring
She takes from her finger?
The Claddagh that she adores so much?
What do you say?

These are the things I ask when I stare at the ornament on my finger,
terrified of what the future may bring.
Do I marry the one I can't stand,
Or await the boy from so far away?
