I will love you

Clap your hands if you believe
That sometimes hope is a lie
But sometimes lies are better than the truth

Raise your hand if you understand
That sometimes words that need to be said
Hurt too much to voice
And a touch will have to work instead

Reach out to me if you feel
Like you're drifting
Like you're lost
Like you're broken

Take my hand if you need to
If you cannot stand on your own
If you cannot see through the darkness

Pull your hand away if you must
If you cannot trust a stranger
If you have no more faith to hold out
If you simply lack the strength to reach

And I will hold your hand instead.
