What is trust? This is a question that I've been asking myself for the last few days.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary trust as a noun is defined as:

1 a : assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.

So, according to that definition trust is based on reliance. To trust someone, you have to rely on that someone. I suppose you have to believe that the individual you trust will do/behave in a way that will prove no harm.

A part of you has grown in me.
And so you see, it's you and me
Together forever and never apart,
Maybe in distance, but never in heart.
