Hoping

I gave you all of me
hoping you'd follow me
I told you my past
hoping healing would be fast
I shared dreams with you
hoping you dreamed them too
I let you see my tears
hoping you'd wipe them for years
I left behind people and things
hoping you'd be my everything
I shared my music with you
hoping you'd feel it too
I took steps backward for you
hoping wild life would be through
I became your wife
hoping you'd give me life
I gave you the world
hoping you'd cherish your lil girl
