In the quiet of the night's embrace
I ponder with a searching stare
In the depths of your eyes, I trace
The question, "Do you really care?"

Is it just words that softly flow
Or actions that reveal the truth
In your heart, does compassion grow
Or is it just a fleeting youth

Do you listen when I confide
In moments of joy and despair?
Or do you stand on the other side
Leaving me to wonder, "Do you really care?"

In the warmth of a friendly smile
Or the silence when we're apart
Can I trust your presence, all the while
To mend the fractures of my heart?

For love's not just a phrase to share
But a promise in each tender stare
So tell me, in this moment rare
Do you hold my heart, and truly care?
