I want to be the quiet ear, you tell your secrets to,

I’ll keep them safe and never tell, this I promise you.

I’ll be the eyes that see your pain and by your side I’ll stay,

And when you cry I’ll be the hand that wipes your tears away.

My feet I’ll plant in solid ground though people’s views may chafe,

And when you’re scared I’ll be the arms that hold you ‘til your safe.

My legs will never bring me down a path that leads from you,

Because my friend, my hearts desire, my love for you is true.

In my soul there is a truth I never have revealed,

A truth I fear cannot be shared and so my lips are sealed.

Within my mind I see your smile and your beauty fills my heart,

But my mouth has never told you, that I‘ve loved you from the start

My tongue gets tied each time you’re near, I am silenced by your grace,

And the butterflies tie knots inside when I see your smiling face.

I know it’s true, I am enslaved, I’m yours from head to toe,

It’s by your side I want to be, I just need to tell you so.
