A basic element in the chemistry of love
The foundation for which relationships are made of
An unconditional belief as rich as old wine
Without doubt or hesitation in the back of one's mind

A quality that exists very little today
Some folks take it serious, others just want to play
To treat it as a game is disrespectful and cruel
To take for granted one's heart and hustle them like a fool

When it comes to trust, how does one really know?
How can one be sure exactly when to let it go?
It's such a great risk when you open your heart
It takes one cruel intention to tear it apart

How can it be earned, it's so hard to come by
Be true to your loved one, never cheat and don't lie
For all things good or bad eventually do come around
One day it could be you whose heart hit the ground

If someone should hurt you, treat it as a lesson
Stay strong in the midst of his/her indiscretions
Most important of all, always trust yourself
Without this within you, you can't give to no one else!
