I didn't know what to say,
only what to do.
When the pain was much too great,
all I did was hold you close.
I didn't know how to act,
only when to move.
When you came back,
all I did was hold you close.
But you still loved me,
me with all my faults.
You picked me up and loved me.
Without knowing what to say--
how to act--
You loved me.
My being, my all.
You loved me.
