If you'll take me as I am, I'll give you my all,
With you by my side, I know I won't fall.
With a sincere heart, I'll give you my love,
Though it is fragile, it flies freely - like a dove.
With a smile on my face, I'll give you my mind,
For that smile is for you, truly one of a kind.
With my hand in yours, I give you my soul,
It is my being, very valuable and bold.
I have given you all the things I hold dear,
I have nothing valuable left to give you, I fear.
Except my trust, honesty, compassion and respect,
In time those, too, will be yours - as the rest.
Do with my heart, mind and soul as you will,
Do not covet them, do not treat them ill.
The moment you do, I promise, I'll take them away,
Along with the rest, no matter what you say.
It will take a lot for me to willingly give them back,
But there's always a way, if you love me, that's fact.
I will forgive your every mistake,
But that doesn't make what you did okay.
I will forever remember how you treated what I held dear,
And with that in mind, I'll be the judge of when you get them back, I fear.
Again, if you love me, you'll find a way,
To get me to trust again, to get me to stay.
