When

When I said "I love you"
You thought I wanted to hear it back.
Don't worry, it's not needed.
When I found out wht bad things you'd done,
You thought I wanted you to promise to stop.
Don't worry, it's not needed.
What is needed is your honesty,
Even if it brings me pain.
What's needed is your trust,
Even if it brings you fear.
I don't want words you don't feel,
Promises you won't keep.
I want to know that what we've built is strong,
So when you find out about me,
I won't worry, it won't be needed.
