Standing in front of you
searching you eyes
for the hint that proves
what you say isn't lies.

You say that you love me
you say that I'm the one.
But I can't help but doubt,
considering what others have done.

I love you,
I know I do,
but question is
Is your love true?

Or is it just a way
to get what you want
so you can move on
to the next hunt.

I hope your happy
I need you to be true.
Because truth is
I cant stop loving you.

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality. ~H.A. Overstreet

I don't normally go for love poems as much but I actually really like this. You kept it clean and concise, simple but meaningful.

Rated 5/5 :)

Oh, hey this is good! It typically bothers me that peoms change rhyme schemes for reasons other than enphasis, but for some reason it didn't even ocure to me til I went to re-read it. Don't change a thing. For this one, I like it like that. Well, if there WAS some way to change it I would fix the typos if I were you, obviously, but you knew what I meant!
