No Explanations

People wonder how
I can stay with you
Even after you hurt me
and tried to kill me

But how can I
explain something
That I'm not even
sure I understand.

All I know is that
when we're apart
All I can think of
is you.

I still trust you
to protect me
when danger is near.
You still comfort me
when I need it.

And I know that
you still love me
In spite of all
that happened.

You're still
my best friend,
my soulmate.
And I will love you
Forever.
