You, should O/our relationship move ahead, should O/our trust continue to grow.

I have the right to expect You to tell me, at any point, if You do not feel You can return those
feelings, so that I may decide what I want and need, For it is Your pleasure that adds to my
own, and makes it real, And mine,
that adds to Yours.
