You always knew.

You always knew.


You asked why I walked with you,
Why I would not miss a step.

You asked why I talked with you,
Why your words I’ve always kept.

You asked why I sat with you,
Why I would not leave your side,

You asked why I sang with you,
Why I would not run and hide.

You asked why I lived with you,
Why I would not move away.

You asked why I loved you,
Why I would never, ever stray.

I asked why you loved me,
Why you had never fled.

You looked at me and smiled,
knowing answers would go unsaid.
