I will always trust


What does a healthy relationship mean to me?
That's a funny question
It's something you don't need to ask
It's something I'm willing to tell you
If you're up for the task
 
I think it means something like trust
Maybe something like lust
But assume whatever you want, it's not like you must
 
I liked the way there was a bond, a connection, a sense of protection
This feeling of being overwhelmed, amazed, the kind that makes you kneel
Healthy does not need be two as much as it is true
 
Your mistakes have been forgiven, yet there is a side of you who grieves of guilt
Sometimes you won’t talk to me, never showing that side you consider vulnerable
Of anything else, no matter what you do
I was always here
 
So please
Stop lying to me because I know the whole truth
You look foolish and pathetic even though I know it's not really you
I want you to wake up and look into my eyes
So I won't turn around while saying my goodbyes
 
But you already know, don't you?
That I will never turn away
I will always be here
Because I love you
And I trust you that love me too
