Surprise

The other day I heard from Nichole something that surprised me. I can't remember her exact words but in effect she said that she doesn't believe she's done anything good for me. She actually thinks she is a horrible girlfriend. I'll admit, she does have her faults, but that's no reason to believe that she's all bad. She's not alone in the thought, though. In fact, I don't think I could find a single person who sees her the way I do. Why is that? Am I just blinded by my love? I can't believe that. There must be some other logical explanation. It seems though, that no matter what she does, it's not enough to make me stop loving her. Part of it's because I know that she loves me. I know that she doesn't want to hurt me. I see past her mistakes. I see her successes. I see all the times she's made me very happy. I also have something nobody else seems to have. I have hope. I know it can't go on forever. Eventually she will have the willpower to resist temptation. Nobody else seems to have much faith in her. But I do. I just hope she's learned from those mistakes that everyone is condemning her for. If she hasn't, her next boyfriend had better be more patient than even I, for her sake.
