The Truth She Said

There was truth in the words she said
As there was nothing in it you'd dread
She spoke of a brave new world
And the non-negotiables she held

You could hear it in her voice
The way her heart sang for choice
For in the end there is only one brave thing
The truth of the love she would bring

She had heard it so gently then
Paul had said you can't pretend
For us all the love you take 
Will only be equal to the love you make.
