doubt interrupted....

he was afraid she didn't know
that he loved her the way she was
she was afraid he didn't hear
what she said when she took a pause

he held her hand and sang to her
he tried to mend her broken smile
she heard the words and felt the warmth
but searched his eyes for doubt and guile

he saw the cloud inside her head
and held her close, to show he's there
she wondered why he wouldn't speak
and told herself he didn't care

he held her long, she fell asleep
he smiled, relieved, turned the lights dim
he slept that night thinking, now, she's fine
she awoke, convinced, she's losing him.....
