I Love You Too

It’s not been an easy ride

No count of the tears I’ve cried

At one point I thought we lost

Sight of the price

It’s cost

You were at your wits’ end

Tried but could not defend

Your unconditional love for me

And I couldn’t set you free

Because

I loved you too

You created an out for me

Thought I’d prepare to leave

But you did not expect

That my heart wasn’t quite there yet

You showed me the truth ‘bout me

I listened defensively

Saw myself through your eyes

At that point I realized

That

I loved you too

He opened the door for me

You stood there courageously

In a church full of folks we love

And nothing to be scared of

Cos

I love you too
