He loves me, he loves me not…
The childish litany
Running through my mind
Does it really matter?

He loves me, he loves me not …
Why do I torture myself?
He says he loves me
Surely that is enough?

He loves me, he loves me not…
Why can't I take it at face value?
Why must I go looking
For a sickness at the centre?

He loves me, he loves me not…
I know, if I pick at it enough,
I will justify my fears
And loves me will become not
