I'm just not prepared
to court you as my wife
If your glass of trust isn't full
How can you trust me for life

Your past seems to clash
with your feelings for me
How could you marry someone
without full trust and security

On a silver platter
I cater to you my trust
I also spoon feed your heart
my love, yet it's not enough

Yes I do love you and
worship you like a Goddess
But your past hurt isn't all out
So you don't trust me to be honest

So why should I court you
if you don't believe I'll be true
If this was vice-versa,
think about it...would you?

If you catered your heart to me
to get back nintey percent of mine
in return
You'd think twice about marrying
me if this table was turned

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Isaiah, I know just how you feel; trust and acceptance are what makes a true marriage healthy and loving. (sigh) Find whatever makes your heart happy that you can trust, and you will be very happy forever in love! (sigh) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so very much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Isaiah, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
