How can I give you the reassurances you need

if you never ask questions you want answers to.

Seems to me your mind is forever signifying curiously

In your search for answers to those unasked questions.

How I can read your mind and address you honestly

All the concerns that you have as they relate tot me

When you seem unwilling to look me in the eyes

Or you give me even the slightest clue?

How can I give you the reassurances you want?

And answer any questions you seem unsure how to ask?

Is there a need to feel your love is anything but safe with me.

Am I glad the woman in you would welcome me with open arms.

Though the small child in you would take a cautious approach

How am I to address what ever it is that’s holding you back?

That you have no valid reason to have any concerns about me,

When you can’t decide to verbalize and ask them direct.

How can I give you the reassurances you seek?

If to you the timing of the moments never seems right

Though I sense your insecurities every time we‘re close,

We caress and embrace without us ever really touching

Why won’t you address your private thoughts with me,

And discus importance of my answers to your wants and need?

How can you give of yourself competely, with no regrets

since you haven't entrusted your love with me.

How can I give you the reassurances you’d love to have?

If you won’t let yourself open up even to you

when I'm around I could make you feel safe and secure

If it mattered I could become you protector instead of lover

I would never let any other come between us now or ever?

And will never do anything to hurt you intentionally

But how can I give you the reassurances you need

If you don’t share your thoughts and concerns with me
