To Be Trusted and Loved

Someone once said that it is better to be trusted than to be loved
If so, I can only surmise that it would be even better to be both . . .
That is to say, better to be both trusted and loved
And so each day I try my best to win your trust
So that someday I can also win your love
And you will hold me in your arms
As you once did long ago
And sincerely tell me
That you love me
