Love Needs Trust
I see a lot when I look in your eyes.
Could it be you are telling me lies?
The specks of gold are pretty in the blue.
It takes me to a place I never knew.
Like floating in the clouds above.
My hand in yours, like a glove.
Yet, is there a storm on the horizon?
I pray to God that you’re not lying.
Let it remain as it is right now.
Bright sunny days, I will allow.
The coming storm is not to be.
As long as you remain with me.
There is no reason for me to distrust.
Burned in the past. A victim of lust.
But, things are different this time.
You are quite different, I find.
Maybe I am seeing what’s not there.
A mirage sign that’s saying beware.
Just a vision of my imagination.
Emotional scaring causes hesitation.
We will take it a day at a time.
Trust will build within my mind.
In time, the scars will heal over.
Then, we are rolling in the clover.
Love is like a teeter totter in ways.
You’re up, then down over the days.
The past can affect what happens now.
I hope it will all change somehow.
I am willing to give it a try.
I see the smile in your eye.
Looks like we are on our way.
Each day will be a better day.
