How Much Do You Love Me?

“How much do you love me?”  I asked.

He answered, “How much do you NEED?”

Stunned into silence I couldn’t respond,

As I let fear and doubting recede.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Have you ever noticed how much more often a human will think on love, fantasize on the perfect scenario, and imagine the right relationship when he/she is ALONE AND LONELY?  than when he/she is involved?  Go figure.

"He" could have said "As MUCH as you'll EVER need", but "he" wasn't "ME"!


"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !

So true. A nice message here, in this concise verse. You pack a lot of punch with very few words Jessica. I like it.
