Held You Through

Your tears fell so slow..
    I couldn't catch all of them..
          So I just held you..

                                            I gave you my ear..
                                    It doesn't judge or cast words..
                                           Just listens and hears..

                                                                                    My body and soul..
                                                                               And a heart open for you..
                                                                                  Here for all your needs..
