When I'm Alone

You
hear me sing myself to sleep
listening as each tear hits the pillow
You comfort me
when no one is around

You
sort through my racing thoughts
understanding each longing for true love
You know me
when no one is around

You
take interest in my questions
patiently dealing with my requests
You answer me
when no one is around

You
calm the fears that come at night
holding me in your arms until I feel safe
You reassure me
when no one is around

You
always have time for me
promising your love will never run out on me
I praise You
when no one is around
