Fear to Cheat


 

I love you, it is something I cannot hide

Yet there is something else deep inside

Another life wants my heart

I am terrified that life will tear us apart

 

I now am seeing you again

You're truly more than a friend

You do not deserve the things that happen to you

For everything in your heart is pure and true

 

I watch your every smile

It makes me think to stay a while

Your soul is more beautiful than the sky

The thought of leaving makes me ask, WHY?

 

Hurting you is my biggest fear

Hurting you is where I would not want to steer

Those eyes of yours so innocently green

Remind me that bad decisions leave no one serene
