Believing



Seeing is not believing
Believing is not seeing

Feeling is believing

The feeling of satisfaction when you make a new friend

The feeling of awkwardness when you start spending more time together
One that will soon fade

The feeling of frustration when she scores higher than you on your favorite game

The feeling of comfort when you two watch the fire in the fireplace

The feeling of love when you tell her how you feel

The feeling of being loved when she says the same thing back

That is Feeling
That is believing.

- D.R.
