He said,  "I really love you, Sweetheart."

I said,  "I hope that's true."

He said,  "My life was worthless, lonely...

And then along came you."

I heard the words and saw his eyes

As he held me close and sighed.

But sometimes I'm so vulnerable

And so many men have lied.

I don't mean to be doubtful

He is gentleness in a shirt,

But I'm afraid I'll ruin this

And cause us both to hurt.

Does everyone feel crazy

When they fall in love, like me?

Am I the only one who fails

To understand and see?

I've been alone so long that now

I don't know how to act.

Common courtesy is lost

And I didn't know I lacked.

Today I'm spinning in a void

When I should be happiness filled.

If I just turn lose, I can't hold on

And might end with a jarring spill.

Maybe if he'd hold me?

And cuddle me in his arms?

Maybe if he'd tell me again?

I'd feel that lovely warm.
