FEAR

the first day i saw you

i feared

i am not good enough for you

the first day we spoke

i feared

i would turn into a fool

the day i said “i love you”

i feared

you would say no

the day you went out of town

i feared

i would go mental

the day we fought

i feared

we would never talk

the day we slept alone

i feared

i would sleep alone for the rest of my life

the day i saw you with another man

i feared

i am not a better man

the day we parted ways

i feared

i would never live again

days turned into weeks

weeks turned into months

the days i feared i would never live again

i forgot how to live

standing before the mirror

watching the scars slowly disappear

the days i feared

fear would took control of my life

slowly faded away into memory

stepping outside into this world once again

walking with a new found energy

i find you looking at me

and i fear

that you might be letting fear take control

walking towards you

i lean closer and whisper

“fear not, don’t fear what happened in the past,

rip out the mask that you are wearing,

come out from behind the veil of fear,

take my hand and  walk with me,

trust me, i am there for you,

believe me ‘I Love You’
