Fear of falling
fear of fighting
fear of yelling
fear of doors slamming
fear of hatred in your eyes
directed at me
fear of letting you down
fear of losing you
fear of waiting for
the phone to ring
fear of you getting
bored with me
fear of losing myself
fear of this incessant sighing
fear of the emptiness inside
fear of never realizing
the love we have found
fear of not being able
to make you laugh anymore
fear of losing the passion
fear of facing the night alone
fear of love...
but from the moment we met,
I felt a connection between us.
Time has not diminished
the leap my heart gives
when I hear your voice,
when I touch your face.
I know it scares you, honey.
It scares me too.
Love scares me,
but we have to
follow this feeling
and trust that our lives
intertwined for a reason.
I promise to love you
until the bitter end--
but, maybe~just maybe,
love doesn't always
have to be bitter.
Maybe this time,
it's for real.
Take my hand.
Lose yourself in my embrace.
Cover me with kisses.
Don't be scared when
I say, "I love you."
I will never hurt you
if you trust me with
your heart. I am real.
Love is real.
You are the most real
love I have known.
Fear...
of the unknown.
Let us trust
what we know
and leave the fear
in yesterday where
it belongs.
