Talk to me.

The loss of trust requires the failing of two to muddle,

whether they dive deep in the ocean or splash shallow in a puddle,

I try hard, even when you doubt, I strive to keep our love from running out.

Maybe I’ve taken too much time, for me, what I desire, it’s true,

Maybe I haven’t given you all of the time you’ve earned, that’s due.

I try my best, don’t you doubt, To keep our love from fading out.

Let’s talk, Let’s cherish love, let our time together be unbroken.

Of happiness and joy, one for the other, Let’s not let our love go unspoken.

Perhaps you need my loving touch, It’s time we talked and such.

I know I am not what you first hoped for, but we choose this, and you, I still adore.

You know it’s hard for me. I remind you that its hard, but I know its hard for you too.

Tell me what you need from me. Remind me not to discard what is important to you.
