| A conversation between a man and woman |
| or |
| Where would you be without me? |
| From me, you get understanding. |
| From me, I give you acceptance. |
| I give you reassurance. |
| And I give you security. |
| As long as my heart beats there will be |
| a place for you to reside. |
| While there is breath still in my body your |
| being will live in my mind. |
| I will defend your vulnerable points, |
| be your strength where you are week. |
| I will add my strengths to yours, |
| causing growth and giving new insights. |
| In my quietness you will find someone who listens. |
| In listening you will find parts of me no one else knows. |
| I am I, and have so much to offer you. |
| I am I, and accept your offering. |
| We have much to learn, we have much to teach. |
| We will learn from each other. |
