The love you give


The love you give, so deep, so wide,  
Held me close, stayed by my side.  
But now I question what was real,  
When silence crept and truth could steal.

I gave my all — my heart, my trust,  
Believed in "us," because I must.  
But whispers grew where laughter died,  
And I was left with tears to hide.

Was I not enough for you to stay?  
Did love mean less with each new day?  
Still, here I am, torn but true,  
Afraid to lose the “us” I knew.

Mistakes were made, the lines were crossed,  
But deeper still is all we've lost.  
Yet through the pain, I still believe,  
In love that breaks but doesn't leave.

So if there’s still a piece of "we,"  
Please don’t let go that easily.  
For hearts can heal, and trust can grow,  
If we choose to fight, not let it go.
