Reassurance

Sometimes I feel the need to seek validation 
I’m scared that your late response meant something more
Or you had a reason for pulling your hand away
It’s not because I don’t believe that you love me
But it’s that I don’t want you to be secretly hiding that you don’t want me anymore
It’s not that I don’t trust you
It’s that I just want to verify your feelings are still as they were 10 minutes ago
It’s not that I doubt your love either
It’s that I am not worthy of your love and yet you still love me
You continue to tell me that even though I am not enough for someone like you
I want to make sure you’re satisfied with your decision of choosing me when you could’ve had someone else
