Chapter 865

I Think I Know

John Henry was contacted by CamNet with some specific information. It was a rough plan which seemed to have some merit. It would take some fine tuning.

"John, I've received some suggestions from CamNet." John Henry said.

John didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary.

"It happens all the time." John said.

John Henry thought there was some relevance based upon the topic. It was one they just discussed. It was a different approach.

"It's been suggested we act as if we are the Grays who Cammy and Gail took down and call for some type of 'help'." John Henry said. "There are several suggestions as to what."

John wondered exactly what was going on. He wasn't so sure it was a good idea. He didn't see any need to inform the area they were about to investigate further, there was some kind of a problem elsewhere.

"It would alert the other location." John said. "They'd be put on guard. They'll be on the lookout for anything different."

John Henry felt there was some merit to the plan. It was bound to remove some of the people who were at the location they wanted to investigate. It seemed to him it was only a matter of time before the two Grays in the truck who attempted to cross the trestle were terminated, and the two Grays who were just terminated by Cammy and Gail Would raise a red flag. It might benefit them if they could get out ahead of any type of response.

"It might reduce their personnel if they decided to send help to the other location." John Henry said. "They may also decide to pack up and make a run for it."

John thought it might speed the recovery of the HK equipment if they did it. They might attempt to booby trap it or blow it up as well.

"It would make our operation easier if they packed everything up for us." John said. "They may also decide to stay and fight. They could have a lot of equipment to back them up."

John Henry just wanted to point out it was an option they hadn't considered previously. It was something to think about.

"It's an option anyway." John Henry said. "It might give us other ideas to work around, or work with."

John thought the presentation of the idea was a little different than normal. He was pretty sure there was more behind it than met the eye. He wasn't sure if he would get an accurate answer or not. He wanted to find out anyway.

"Where's this information or suggestion really from?" John asked.

John Henry didn't want to run afoul of CamNet. It seemed to him as if the answer was self-evident, even if it wasn't.

"CamNet didn't specify." John Henry said.

John was pretty sure he knew what the actual source of the recommendation was from. He was certain Young Allison was involved. He knew she often went over the same things as they did in the Command Center. Right now they weren't in the Command Center, they were in the local Control Center in a casino hotel in Las Vegas. He wasn't really sure how he should address it, but he felt he needed to do something. He at least needed to say something.

"I think I know." John said. "She's always trying to think the operations through and watch out for us. I should thank her."

John Henry already arrived at the same conclusion as soon as he received the message from CamNet. He didn't think it was a good idea to rock the boat. The suggestion arrived by the method it did for a specific reason. There were actually a few factors behind it. One of them was because Savannah asked Young Allison to work within the framework of the Resistance and its hierarchy. He believed the other issue was a little more complicated. It was based more on perception, than it was on reality. If someone were to focus on one thing, they would miss the overall picture of what was actually available.

"I think it's best if she wishes to remain in the shadows for now we should honor it." John Henry said. "It's her 'age' which bothers her."

John thought of some of the rumors he heard. Knowing how Cameron operated and liked to control people's lives, he was sure they were more than rumors. He also knew if Cameron didn't want the information out there, it wouldn't be out there. There wouldn't be any speculation or rumors. He was pretty sure it was something she allowed to 'test the waters' to see what type of reception or opposition there would be to her long-range plans. He did believe there was a lot of activity in the background, even if he couldn't see it.

"I don't think it will be an issue much longer…." John said.

John Henry hoped to avoid getting into any details of a probable event. It was especially more so since he didn't have any input or say into the matter. He wanted to keep his hands off of it. He believed Cameron was going to do whatever she was going to do. Without any direct intervention from Savannah, or Young Allison, he didn't think anyone would be able to stand in her way. There were other family members he could deal with as well. At this point in time, he wasn't sure it was actually a good idea for multiple reasons based upon Cameron's current agenda.

"It would be a safe bet." John Henry said. "You know who to take the issue up with."

John smiled. The thought Young Allison could soon look like Future Allison was very alluring and enticing to him. He really regretted not taking Future Allison up on her 'offer'. She said being with John Connor was something which occurred all the time in the future. For her to be with him in the past, or present, would be no different to her. It was actually something she said she looked forward to very much. He knew he left a lot on the table he shouldn't have. If she ever returned to the past, the present again, she wasn't going to slip through his fingers the next time.

Future Allison and Young Allison weren't the only ones on his mind. It was all the rest of the females as well. There was Allison, Vanna, and Jesse. There was Savannah and Young Jesse. He was also aware Claire was available as well. He kept passing up what was being offered and what was available. He really wondered what for. His close encounter with Cammy showed there was no need not to take advantage of the bounty of booty. He at least wanted to be with the virgins and get the issue 'corrected' and out of the way. Then there were all the Metal girls, all he needed to do was ask.

"…her mother." John Henry said.

John realized he let his mind wander. It seemed to happen more and more, even when they were in the middle of an operation. The thoughts were all very sexual in nature most of the time. He knew he shouldn't think about females in such a manner. There were certain deep rooted thoughts in his mind and sometimes they were triggered. He didn't know those deep rooted thoughts stemmed from his nightly 'conditioning' when Cameron was around. Now he lost track of where they were in the different operations.

"What?" John asked.

John was aware he was daydreaming about being with Future Allison again. He really thought she was something worth daydreaming about. He didn't think someone so vibrant and young needed to be stuck in a future which was little more than Hell. He would like to get her out of the future and move her to the Resistance base. She wasn't the only one who clouded his thoughts either.

John Henry didn't understand how John was so easily distracted. None of the concepts they discussed were new. He decided to repeat his previous statement.

"I stated, for things of such a nature, you would need to contend with her mother." John Henry said.

John Henry's reminder made John think about Claire again. She was just in his mind earlier. She was very attractive and seemed to indicate she was 'available' for several things. Maybe he could manage to get one of those 'mother - daughter' deals he always heard about. He didn't need to wait for 'temporal aging'. Allison and Claire were available now. He was sure they were both 'good to go'. He wasn't so sure about both of them at the same time though. He would still like to try it. He needed to refocus. There were important issues they needed to deal with.

"I think Cameron will 'take care' of anything regarding any of it." John said.

Cameron did tell him their relationship was 'open'. Maybe it was time to take advantage of it. It was probably why he thought of all the females earlier, including the Metal girls. He was somewhat relieved he didn't think about Riley.

Great….

Now he just did think about Riley. He really hoped to keep his mind away from her. He would end up thinking about Future Riley. Too late, now he just did. He figured the only thing which could make it worse was if he started to think about Young Riley. He didn't really think his mind was in the gutter right now, even if somehow it seemed it was. He would only want to be with someone, if they wanted to be with him. Why couldn't he refocus?

John remembered Cameron's words to him earlier.

'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.' Cameron said to him or something similar anyway. He understood what it meant.

If it wasn't a 'green light' to have at it, what was?

Cameron reminded him often that none of the Metal girls could say 'no' if he asked them. It appeared in Cammy's case he didn't even need to ask. She was more than willing to offer. Actually if he thought about it, all of the Metal girls seemed to make a similar offer. He really didn't see any need not to do as they desired. What could it hurt? No really, what could it hurt? It seemed like good clean fun if everybody was on board with it voluntarily. A warm body would be nice to wake up to everyday, not a few times a month.

He wondered if any of the Metal girls would develop an obsession for him if they started to share. He would need to make it perfectly clear to them from the first encounter it was just sex and nothing more. He wasn't sure it was a distinction they would be able to maintain. Somehow if he told the human girls the same thing it would seem very rude and is if he only wanted to use them. What if one of them wanted to move in all the time?

The drone images Cameron's teams looked at seemed about the last place to look for something Skynet related. To use such a location was a first. It was an effective strategy.

The images Savannah initially looked at bothered her.

"It looks like a playground." Savannah said.

Dan was able to read a sign as he passed on the motorcycle. He also thought the property wasn't in the best shape.

"It has a 'Child Day Care' sign on the front of it." Dan said. "The property looked run down. It may not be an active use as it once was. I didn't spot any children as I passed by."

Frank passed by it earlier. He didn't even think about it as he did.

"I didn't even notice it." Frank said. "I haven't seen any children in the area for the last few minutes anyway."

Savannah understood their statements to mean the original use of the property could have changed. She wanted to be absolutely sure before they made any type of aggressive move. She wanted to specifically make sure everybody understood her position.

"We need to verify no children are present." Savannah said. "If there's even one, we will need to devise a new plan. There will be no exception."

Cameron looked further at the drone scans she received. Everything was run down including in the playground area.

"I think they were able to rent the building cheap." Cameron said. "If it was abandoned, they may even be squatting in it. We know it's a standard technique used by all the groups from the future."

Someone from the future usually arrived without anything of value. They needed to acquire clothing first to avoid being arrested. They needed something of monetary value in order to obtain things. It usually would result in some type of theft to start out with. It wasn't anything anyone was proud of. It was just the way things were done. Sometimes there were terminations along the way.

Sheila believed they might be able to get some insight based on what may have already transpired there.

"John Henry needs to do a records search." Sheila said. "He can backtrack to determine the last time the building actually possessed a legitimate owner or occupant."

The more they uncovered about the unknown group bothered Cameron more and more. There appeared to be something very sinister going on. She understood how humans developed 'feelings' about things, especially during an operation. Normally Terminators operated off of logic and past practice. She could tell the current operation was different based upon how everything unfolded.

"These people are going to turn out to be part of the 'anti-Metal' faction or worse." Cameron said. "I can 'feel' it."

John was painfully aware the anti-Metal faction was still part of the Resistance. They both shared a common enemy. The difference was more in the details than in the policy. He felt they could share some type of common ground. He didn't have the same vendetta against them Cameron seemed to.

"I want to try to make contact with them." John said. "We're both fighting Skynet."

Cameron was appalled at the idea. She wondered why John seemed to have such a short memory of past events. There already was one 'attack' directed at them. It was actually directed more at her specifically. It just didn't play out the way it was intended by the perpetrators. She was to be blamed for an incident she wasn't responsible for and deactivated by John as 'punishment'. In other words, she would have been terminated for something she wasn't responsible for. The attack would have been directed to hurt John emotionally, rather than physically. She was aware of the assassination attempts in her future against Future John and her.

"No." Cameron said. "They'll infiltrate us AGAIN if we try to work with them. He can backtrack to determine the last time the building actually possessed a legitimate owner or occupant."

Savannah knew it was a jab at John. She also saw Cameron's hand start to glitch. She knew she needed to take control of the situation immediately. She didn't want things to get out of hand. It seemed Cameron was steamed enough already. There was no need to make it worse.

"Cameron, I want you to sit in the back with me." Savannah said.

Sheila was parked.

Cameron moved into the back with Savannah.

Savannah kissed Cameron on the cheek and took her left hand. The glitch stopped. She smiled at Cameron and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. She tried to think what was best for the Resistance going forward. She possessed experience in two different futures.

"John, it's a negative on trying to make contact with them." Savannah said. "Cameron is very upset now. Those people have proven they can't be trusted. They'll turn on us once they're done with the Grays and Skynet. I saw them in the future too, both of the futures I went to. They tried to kill Cameron's clone when they thought she was Allison - Duplicate Allison, because she was a 'Metal Lover'. They wanted to kill her for who she associated with. You know what they did from Cameron's future…."

Savannah felt Cameron gently squeeze her hand. Cameron 'thanked' her for standing up for her.

John felt there was a problem with killing Resistance fighters.

"We should still try." John said. "They may be able to help us or provide us with additional information. We should try to find out what we can first. I know you've dealt with other groups of them and they lied about a lot of things."

Cameron was able to collect her thoughts. She was also ready to act. She was determined she would confront this group herself.

"If there are no children present, I'll lead the assault myself." Cameron said. "My decision will stand."

John was aware Cameron wanted vengeance. He also knew Sheila was with her. He figured they would both take great satisfaction if they were able to 'work' on any of the people involved. He hoped to put the brakes on some things before they could get started.

"I don't want any interrogations." John said.

Savannah felt it was way too early to make any type of determination in regards to something they didn't know. Events could play out otherwise where additional information may be needed.

"It will be determined by their actions and attitude." Savannah said. "We don't know what will happen later on. Everything is still speculation on our part."

Savannah reached forward and squeezed Sheila's shoulder gently.

Sheila glanced back and nodded.

Savannah was aware she would be identified as a 'Metal Lover' by the anti-Metal group. The funny part of it was Cammy was her 'Metal lover'. She loved Cameron and all of the Terminators dearly. It didn't bother her in the slightest she was a 'Metal Lover' by more than one definition. It was actually something she was quite proud of. She would stand by her decision and belief, even if it meant her life. She did understand when the anti-Metal faction came to assassinate John Connor, she would most likely be by his side and die with him. What would their crime actually be? Was the crime not to hate a specific group of individuals, just because they were different? Everyone needed to be judged on their own actions, not what group they belong to, or how they came into being.

The anti-Metal group was the one who threw the first blow. They threw it in the future, and they threw it in the past, the present. The anti-Metal they were the ones who came after them. Everyone was entitled to defend themselves if they were attacked without provocation. Just because a group didn't like some things another group did, it wasn't justification to try to kill them. Now it was a matter of kill or be killed, or terminate or be terminated.

Cammy and Gail went by and checked out the warehouse by the rail yard. They did the inspection as quickly as possible. It was mainly a half hearted attempt to look over everything again. It wasn't why they were there. There were other things they wanted to do. They both made sure their coms were off.

"OK, we did what we said we would do." Cammy said. "The area was checked and inspected."

Cammy felt justified she could continue with her plans with John.

Gail was able to gather what was really going on by what was said and what wasn't said. Sometimes what wasn't said, said a lot more than what was actually said.

"I can take you back to see John." Gail said. "It sounded like you both made plans."

Cammy felt confident enough now to talk about what she wanted. She also knew that it was more than just what she wanted. It was what John wanted as well.

"It seemed like we did." Cammy said. "I wanted to be with John because Savannah was with Cameron."

Gail felt a glitch impulse but was able to suppress it.

"She was?" Gail asked. "Are you sure?"

Gail knew if it was the case, she would never get to be with Savannah. Cameron would eliminate all the competition, one way or another.

Cammy was sure of the things she saw and felt with her own hands. She didn't think it was too hard to add everything up and do the math.

"I saw the wet towels and the messed up bed." Cammy said.

Gail showered with Savannah before, and even dressed her. It didn't mean Cameron and Savannah were together as lovers yet.

Cammy was able to see the look of concern and worry on Gail's face.

"I can see you truly love Savannah, Gail." Cammy said.

Gail knew everybody's relationship was open. It still made her feel like an intruder. She knew she was one of the few individuals who hadn't been with Savannah yet.

"I do." Gail said. "I don't mean to intrude on you or Cameron. I know Savannah shares with just about everyone. You know what I mean."

Cammy thought about her programming. She was given very specific directives from Cameron about what to do when it came to Savannah. Savannah wasn't to be denied love from any source. Cameron wanted Savannah to share as much love as possible and to feel as loved as possible.

"You're not intruding." Cammy said. "I'm to facilitate whatever Savannah's desires are. Even though I love her, I'm programmed to make Savannah feel the love from 'everyone'. I never stand in her way if she seeks comfort and love from anyone. She in turn has encouraged me to share and love others as well. I have. I can say it opened a whole new world to me I didn't think existed, based on the fact my program is Cameron's program."

Through her own personal experience, Gail knew it was true. She believed it was true for all of them.

"I think all the girls, and Metal girls, do the same." Gail said. "We all share our partners while having 'open relationships'."

Cammy thought about how her own existence rapidly evolved from what it was at the time of her creation. She was very much more today than when she was created.

"Our infiltration programming has developed so much and so fast, we are almost like human females anyway." Cammy said. "I know it's the goal of our programming to be able to emulate a human completely."

Gail couldn't help but think about Cameron's roller coaster ride of emotions she witnessed.

"I think it happened to Cameron a long time ago." Gail said. "She sometimes seems even more human, than the human females do."

Cammy could think of one big biological difference which separated them from human females. She believed it was an obstacle which could never be overcome due to the different makeup between humans and the Metal girls. One was mechanical, the other was biological.

"The only way we aren't like them is being able to reproduce offspring." Cammy said.

Gail was painfully aware not all human females were capable of reproduction.

"Even some of the human females are unable to do it." Gail said.

Cammy felt it was a very touchy subject. She saw the pain and anguish some of the human females went through because of it. It was no fault of their own either. It was the fault of Skynet. The younger uncontaminated versions of Vanna and Jesse were both able to reproduce. The simple fact alone proved Skynet was the culprit as to why Vanna and Jesse couldn't reproduce.

"We all know Cameron needs Savannah to continue to grow." Cammy said. "Cameron may have grown past John, but she will never grow past Savannah and Allison - Young Allison."

Gail carefully went over all the reports about the future there were. She wanted to understand the true nature of the 'Natural Order'. She didn't want to change or alter it. She wanted to see what it was based on and how it functioned.

"It's why they're together in the future." Gail said. "They all NEED each other."

Cammy was there in Cameron's future. She witnessed it with her own eyes. She also lived it and was a participant at times.

"It's the 'Natural Order'." Cammy said. "It's inevitable."

Both Cammy and Gail understood no matter how much they cared for or loved Savannah, it was clear she belonged to the future. They both understood anyone who stood in the way of it would be forcefully knocked out of the way and cast into the nothingness of termination.

Allison watched as Vanna took care of Precious. It was all done with a great amount of care and love.

"I can see how much you want to be a mother." Allison said.

There were times when Vanna was very disgusted with her body and its ability to function as it should. She didn't believe any of its shortcomings were her fault. She was very pleased Cameron was able to help her develop a very special function of at least part of it.

"The older I get, the more I have the desire." Vanna said. "I can't. I have tried so many times. Nothing ever 'sticks'. I know I will eventually run out of being able to attempt it. It's just the way our bodies work."

There were times Vanna felt like an 'embryo serial killer'. It bothered her greatly to know a life was created, and then was just as quickly terminated.

Allison felt and shared Vanna's pain. She also experienced her own shortcomings to deal with. Sometimes they were very overwhelming. She understood why some events took place in the way they did. It was something she didn't have much control over, even though a certain aspect of it should have belonged to her. There was real reasoning behind what was done. What was done is what needed to be done.

"I don't know what to do anymore." Allison said. "I want to share a family with you. If I run away into the future, I'll try to take someone else's family away at that point."

Vanna felt an extreme sense of guilt and grief. She witnessed the pain Savannah went through upon her return from the future. It wasn't the future which caused the pain for Savannah. It was what was left in the future which was the source of the pain. She really didn't think she could be a part of it and need to face Savannah everyday in the present. It made her guilty just to think about it.

"Cameron can help us…." Vanna said. "I can't ask Savannah to give up her baby for me again. She's done it twice. I know she would have one for me, for us. It would kill me to give up my baby."

Allison felt very guilty about what was done as well. She didn't believe anyone should need to suffer on her part for her shortcomings.

"I can't ask my mother either." Allison said. "I know it is hard on her. She would also have one, for us."

Vanna tried to contemplate what choices were available to them.

"What do we do?" Vanna asked.

Allison could only see one direction and she wasn't sure it was the right one anymore. Not too long ago she saw the direction very clearly. Now it seems like the wrong direction.

"Do we run to the future?" Allison asked.

Vanna wanted to write her own story. She wanted both of them to do it.

"NO!" Vanna said. "We make OUR own future."

Jesse walked with Holly back to Riley's room. She began to experience a lot of apprehension over what she was about to do. She even questioned her ability to be able to do it, even though it was proven she could, at least physically.

"I feel very nervous about this." Jesse said.

Holly tilted her head slightly as they walked. What Jesse said surprised her.

"I didn't think anything bothered you." Holly said. "You're as tough as Coltan."

Jesse felt the grip of the past - the future, weigh heavily upon her at times. She didn't think it was any fault of her own but she knew a lot of it was. She may have been a victim of circumstance but she was also a willing participant.

"It still bothers me. A lot bothers me." Jesse said. "I'm ashamed of things I've done, and things which have been done to me. Maybe how I act helps me cope. I know my behavior leaves a lot to be desired."

Jesse sometimes felt she hid in plain sight. She constructed a 'wall' around herself which was invisible, but it was there as if it was real. It kept others out and her feelings locked in.

Holly viewed Jesse for the person she was now. She believed who a person was now, was more important than what they may have been before. That was then, this was now. There was a difference. It was a big one.

"You're very beautiful, Jesse." Holly said. "I mean both inside and out too."

Jesse quickly looked at Holly when she made the statement. She could see Holly was serious.

"I don't feel I am." Jesse said. "I've asked Cameron to make sure I - Young Jesse I mean, not be allowed to make the same mistakes I've made. I never want her to find the darkness which lurks inside of her."

Holly wasn't so sure the 'darkness' was already inside of Young Jesse waiting to be discovered. She believed Skynet was responsible for the 'darkness' which developed in Jesse.

"You know it won't happen." Holly said. "Camille is 'Cameron', everything will be different and better for her, no matter what happens."

Jesse reached up and touched her right breast. She could feel the extra fullness to it now. It's not how it was before, even a few months ago.

"I never thought I would be able to do this…." Jesse said. "I mean help Precious."

Holly was very aware of her construction and the facade which covered her Coltan chassis.

"I envy what your body can do." Holly said. "Mine was constructed for killing. Yours was created for - creating."

Jesse felt a sense of guilt and regret. She knew she did a lot of killing over the years herself.

"Mine doesn't - create." Jesse said. "Skynet has ruined my body."

Holly glanced over at Jesse's breasts. They were noticeably larger than they were a short time ago. Based on her observation of Claire, she knew Jesse wasn't yet done with her new development.

"Skynet may have taken some things from you, but not everything." Holly said. "Cameron can help you."

Jesse honestly didn't know if there were any motherly instincts left in her. She may have ruined all of them or they may have been ruined for her. She really didn't know. It left her with an extreme feeling of fear. It was the fear of failure.

"Let's see how I do first." Jesse said. "I'm scared I won't be good enough."

Jesse's words hit home with Holly. She heard those very words before.

"You sound like Cameron." Holly said.

Jesse saw things a little deeper.

"It's just the thing." Jesse said. "It's Cameron who sounds like us and FEELS like us - humans."

Holly thought humans were very resilient and adaptable.

"I think you'll do fine." Holly said.

Jesse really wished she knew the answer to it. She didn't

"It's the moment of truth." Jesse said.

Holly knocked twice and opened the door to Riley's room for Jesse.

Ally listened to the plan John laid out.

"It can't hurt to try." Ally said. "You're going to flatten the place anyway, right?"

John thought about asking for more drones to make his plan a 'maximum effort'.

"Yes." John said. "At midnight I'll launch a massive drone strike."

Ally could only see positive things in the plan.

"So what do we have to lose by trying to spook them now?" Ally asked. "If they load the trucks for us, it's even better. If not, we blow them up where they are now. If they run, we take them down."

John wanted decisive action. He didn't want any unnecessary actions on the part of some individuals.

"I want all of them terminated, if it happens." John said. "I don't want any more 'interrogations'."

Ally doubted John would be able to enforce the last part of his statement.

"You might have to take it up with Cameron." Ally said.

John felt his input was minimal on the subject. He knew there were others who would have much more impact than he ever could.

"No. Not with Cameron. I'll take it up with Savannah or Young Allison if I have to." John said. "They have the influence to prevent it."

Ally really thought it would depend upon the circumstances.

"There may be times when they won't." Ally said.

John would take whatever help he could get. He knew he needed to respect it when it was given too.

"Then I'll trust their judgment on a case by case scenario." John said. "They aren't the 'Chosen Ones' for nothing."

Ally thought she didn't need to get as close to the target area as she was going to previously. She thought the other events should play out. She didn't want to risk being discovered before they did.

"Do you want me to hold up then and see what shakes loose?" Ally said.

It sounded like a good idea to John.

"Yes." John said. "I don't like risking damage to anyone if it can be avoided."

John thought back to the time he foolishly 'sacrificed' Cameron to get his mother out of jail. It was all so needless and unnecessary. He didn't think Cameron ever truly forgave him for it. How could she? He DESTROYED her.

"OK, I'll slow down." Ally said.

"…What…?" John asked.

John was lost in thought about his shortcomings with Cameron. If he dwelt there too long he'd think about Riley next.

Great, now he just did.

John smiled.

Anna received some feedback from John Henry about Young Allison's plan.

"They're going to try your idea." Anna said.

Young Allison didn't want it looked at like it was something specific from her.

"It's an idea, not 'my idea'. We're all a team." Young Allison said. "I hate Skynet too. We'll all fight together and share together."

Anna was proud of Young Allison.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

I Think I Know

When someone's a stranger
What's really known about them
Will one ever know the truth
Will the lies ever stem

Are they who they say
How does one find out
Can one ever know
What they are all about

There's no way to verify
What happened in the past
Is only the future to come
Enough to make it all last

One can always listen
Is it enough to believe
Will one's trust they thieve
Leaving a heart to grieve

When one's love they bestow
Is there still room to grow
Will they fold or show
I think I know

Nobody
