I Love You Too

It’s not been an easy ride
No count of the tears I’ve cried
At one point I thought we lost
Sight of the price
It’s cost
You were at your wits' end
Tried but could not defend
Your unconditional love for me
And I couldn’t set you free
Because
I loved you too
You created an out for me
Thought I’d prepare to leave
But you did not expect
That my heart wasn’t quite there yet
You showed me the truth ‘bout me
I listened defensively
Saw myself through your eyes
At that point I realized
That
I loved you too
He opened the door for me
You stood there courageously
In a church full of folks we love
And nothing to be scared of
Cos
I love you too
