You know,
I don't really think I ever asked too much of you.

You say that you love me.
You say that you care for me.
I just need to you to help me believe it.

If what you said is true,
how is that too much to ask?

Because what you do now..
It's blatantly proves opposite.
How we can be so perfect for a week,
and then next you are long gone.

How can we go from being so attached,
to being so distant.
That's not how you show you love someone.

Saying you are scared of what will happen,
That won't work anymore.
I'm scared too, but I have always been willing to take the risk.
I would gladly take the leap if I knew you were there to hold my hand.

But where are you?
I just need you to show me I can trust your words.

*Is that so much to ask of you?
