Trust Me

I know, it’s not easy to be loved
if you expect to be abandoned again
If you think love can
be taken away from you anytime
Like a thief in the night
that steals your heart

If you think love has conditions
And you need to meet certain standards
If you think love is a game
and you will lose in the end
If you think you will never be good
enough

So you tested the waters
You threw rocks into it
You let huge waves arise
And made thunderstorms
in the sky

But look, here by your side
Do you see how this love has never left you?
That it passed all tests
And that it loves unconditionally?

Do you see how I am still here
Holding your hand
Can you now believe in love again
And can you trust me?
