Not so Negative

I have my doubts,
God knows i have my fears;
Will I keep my act together,
Through the ensuing years?

I have been messed up,
I don't want to drag you down to my level;
Sometimes I think you are too good for me,
And I'm this hardcore devil.

I know you have told me not to be so negative,
Your love letters I do enjoy;
You make me feel younger than my age,
And your positive attitude I do try to employ.

I want to try and ignore the talk,
About the differences in our ages;
I'll try to read some positive love poetry,
And think of you as I turn the pages.
