Love is patient
and it is kind
You show me this
time after time
Holding me tightly
when darkness falls
Subduing my trembling
when anxiety calls
You’re there if I awaken
from nightmarish dreams
Mending calm fibre
and stitching its seams
Quietly listening
while you dampen my tears
Hearing my confessions
my sins and my fears
I know not how to tell you
of your importance to me
You are my rock on the shores
of deep torrent sea
Your love stands firm
after all we’ve been through
Please always be with me
please always be you
