Can I? by Lurch
Can I tell you all my secrets,
And you’ll keep them to yourself?
Can I tell you that I need you,
And you’ll offer me your help?
Can I open up myself to you,
And show you all I am?
Can I trust you to see past the shell,
And take me by the hand?
Can I make many mistakes,
And you’ll still be at my side?
Can I test our love and friendship,
And you won’t run and hide?
Can I shatter into a thousand pieces,
And you’ll pick them up one by one?
Can I tell you when my days are dark,
And your smile will be my sun?
Can I ask all this of you,
And then say, “I love you too?”
