How Is It That You Cannot Know?

How is it that you cannot know,
Entrapment by the unsure thought-
When I am sure I love you so.

The future is not certain? So!
Such sureness comes from what is taught.
How is it that you cannot know?

Love, is the bud that strives to grow;
we always reach for what is sought-
It’s how I’ve come to love you so.

Still- If you decide to go
I am sure I’ll still be caught.
How is it that you cannot know?

I will withdraw, and let you leave, although
ambivalence leaves me distraught
for I will always love you so.

And now I’m reaping what I sow
But still you will not be forgot.
How is it that you cannot know
when I am sure I love you so?
