- The Fear -

The Fear

Easy as saying yes or no,

Painless as ripping off a band-aid.

But why is it still so hard to do?

Why is it hard to sit there, and feel yourself break in half as an event unfolds in front of you?

This tugging, unbearable feeling that makes you want just to fall in love,

What does it all mean?

Staying happy by yourself, it should be easy, it shouldn’t be threatened by the poison-tipped claws of love

And that moment, when you feel your heart beating so fast, just because of someone’s face

Or that way a wave of happiness washes itself over you for no reason, just because of one person

Saying those odd and somewhat dangerous three words to someone, why is it so easy to say to someone?

Why is it just so easy to…love?

You could hate everything else in the world, but there’s one person you love more than anything,

Why does that have to happen?

Because even though I love you more than anything,

Marrying you still scares me to death.

Having kids with you makes me have a heart attack.

But when I look into your eyes, or hear you talk, all those fears just melt away

But why should they?

Why does love have to change you, why do you have to change for love?

No matter how much you love someone, those undeniable fears don’t fade away

Sure, they might fade to the back of your mind now and then, but they’re still there

Why do they have to interrupt this great feeling I have about you,

When I’m perfectly happy with you?

Is there something wrong with me, and that’s why I find this all so odd?

I’m just an emotionless robot with no feelings, that doesn’t understand the meaning of love

And isn’t capable of ever loving of someone else.

But I know that can’t be true because I love you more than anything else,

Love you to death, love you more than my own life.

They may say it’s dangerous to ever feel this way, but what would you expect from a person like me?

Someone who fell in love too fast with someone before, why would she hesitate not to fall in love with you?

And even though that fear is still in the back of my mind, I know you’ll exterminate it.

Because our love is that strong.
