Conviction and Commitment

I’d give you honesty,
sincerity, loyalty,
and conviction,
for nothing in return,
but your forgiveness.

I’d give you all I have,
heart and soul,
and all I’ll ever be,
for nothing in return,
but your understanding heart.

You made me feel
like the luckiest man alive,
when you held me, 
and looked into my eyes.

You filled my life with such joy,
all to my surprise.

But I was a fool,
for the foolish things I’ve done,
that have hurt your heart in this way,

and all that I can tell you,
is what I want to do,
is give you these gifts today.

These gifts of honesty,
sincerity, trust,
and commitment,
for nothing in return, 
but just one more chance
to prove my love for you.

These gifts of all I have,
heart and soul,
and all I’ll ever be,
for nothing in return,
but all you are to me.

For you are my everything,
and I need you in my life.
