Risk Committing Love

     It’s easy to say, “I love you.”
     It’s easy to say, “I care.”
     It’s easy to say, “I need you.”
     Words the vibration of air.

          Smile with me
             Trust me
                Hold me
                   Talk with me
                     Sing to me

     It’s better to feel, “I love you.”
     It’s better to know, “I care.”
     It’s better to realize, “I need you.”
     Love’s a commitment to bare.
     
     Tell me you love me,
     Tell me you care.
     Tell me you need me,
     Your heart-truth to bear.

     Don’t expect, “I love you”,
     If feelings aren’t there.
     Tell me you love me,
     Don’t ask me to dare.

     If I don’t love you,
     That isn’t your choice.
     You loving me
     Is your risk to voice.
