Steadfast



My loves strong, if I have your loyalty then I'll have your back,
And when I stand behind you with my heart,
I promise, no one would dare attack,
So show me you're a ride or die kinda person and you're down,
And the promise, I'll never break, is when you need me, I'll be around,
To help you as much as I possibly can,
Or to just listen and try to understand,
CUZ I'm here to build up your self-esteem,
And not just be another fairy tale dream,
So think about it, when you lay down tonight,
Are u throwing in the towel, or am I worth the fight?
