I poured my soul out to her
I gave her my love
Though I didn’t know why
And she gave me hers.

I told her my fears
In the safety of darkness
For no reason at all
And she told me hers.

I lent her my strength
A shoulder to lean on
Though I couldn’t explain
And she offered me hers.

I gave her my hope
When she ran out
I didn’t need a reason
And she gave me hers.
