not your saviour

i am not your saviour.
i can help you lift your cross, i'll give you a starting push too.
but i shall not carry your cross for you.
if you stumble and fall, i will drop my cross and rush to help you.
but i will not carry you and your cross.
i will give you my shoulder, to rest upon as we climb up the hill.
but i can not carry your cross with you.

if near the top you waver, i'll whisper two words of encouragement.
but i could not carry you and your cross.

i am not your saviour.
i will be there for you through it all, share with me all you want.
but i shall not do anything that hurts you.
if you promise to love and cherish, then i will give you all of me.
but i will not be dishonest, nor be lied to.
i will give you every second of every day, any time and any where.
but i can not give my own life to you.
if ever you decide that this is what you want, then i will be here.
but i could not say that i'll wait forever.

i am not your saviour.
