She Trusted Me

A love story

She trusted me
Why I’m not sure
There was no denying
The love in her eyes

She trusted me
To be her lover
Father of her children
Her husband for life

She trusted me
To be there for her
In times of joy
In times of sorrow

She trusted me
To comfort her
And hold her tight
To say I love you

She trusted me
As she began to fade
To be the man
Till death do us part

She trusted me
Beyond these empty words
To be her forever love
Lovers for eternity

She trusts me
That soon I will be
Walking beside her
Hand in hand
