When all my hopes for loving had
Been cast upon the shore,
I looked to you for friendship but
You offered so much more.
I needed someone who would hold
My hand when I was scared.
You came to me and held me close
To show me that you cared.
I tried to play the game of love,
But all I found was pain,
Until your love convinced me that
I had to try again.
