I'll give you careless amounts of out rightAcceptance if you want it. I'll give youEncouragements to choose the pathyou want if you need it.You can speak of anger and doubts,Your fears and freak-outs and I'll hold it.You can share your so-calledShame filled accounts of times in your lifeand I won't judge it.And there are no strings attached,You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give.You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have.I give you thanks for receiving; it's my privilege,And you owe me nothing in return.You can ask for space for yourselfAnd only yourself and I'll grant it.You can ask for freedom as wasOr time to revel and you'll have it.You can ask to live by yourselfOr love someone else and I'll support it.You can ask for anything you wantAnything at all and I'll understand it.I bet you're wondering whenThe next payback you'll eventually drop.I bet you're wondering when my conditionsor policies will force you to cough up.I bet you're wondering how faryou now have danced moved back into dead.This is the only kind of loveAs I understand it that there really is.You can express your deepest of truthsEven if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it.You can fall into the abyssOn the way to your blissAnd I'll empathize with.You can't say that you'll have to skip townTo chase your passion and I'll hear it.You can leave and hit rock bottomhave a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it.
You Owe Me Nothing In Return…
