Does she love me?

Is she highly motivated and enthused? Is she always positive and energized? Does she ever doubt my ardor, and accuse? Will I always be the one she claims to prize? Does she find a way to 'make' sufficient time? Am I 'second' to her hobbies or career? Is her love conditioned by 'my' state of mind? Does she make my ideas welcome - without jeer? Are my efforts always equal to her own? Does she often question: what, or how or why? Does she have opinions not yet set-in-stone? If she doesn't win the contest - will she cry? Are some sacrifices too extreme to make? Is she happy and fulfilled with what she's done? Are her compromises more of 'give' than 'take'? Does an argument go on until she's won? Is she 'victim' when some plan comes out all wrong? Does she envy those she thinks are better-blessed? Does she have excuses ready...right along; Just in case one of her actions makes a mess? Does she think 'repayment' just before she gives; Or look down on lesser folk from lofty perch? Can she use the words: apologize, forgive? Would she be at home inside a Christian church? Almost everyone who's here has got a 'past'; That has made them who and what they are today. I'm a decent guy whose youthful days have passed... With no need to cede my principles away. (I really don't think she loves me!)
