You say that you have an unconditional love for me,
I am realistic and that is something I can’t see,
it is not that I doubt that you believe these words are true.
I just do not think that you have thought it completely through.

What if I was to cheat on you with your very best friend
would that be enough to bring this claim of yours to an end?
If I were to berate you in front of those that we know
and did so at every chance, would you just let it go?

If I took to beating you up, every time I could,
would you suffer quietly, thinking “it is all good?”
If I insisted that you have sex with men for pay,
would you gladly do it for love or up and run away?

What if I was a pedophile and molested our child,
or insisted that we have them join in orgies so wild?
If I were to rape and kill your sister and your mother
would you still love me or run off to be with another?

You know that I could never ever do these things to you.
They are not in my nature and I do truly love you,
I am realistic enough to know it can be lost,
if certain things are done and certain lines are ever crossed.

Even God’s great love has some sins that he will not forgive
I just want us to be honest as in this love we live
To always bear in mind how the other person might feel
if we want this love to last it must be so true and real.
