My Biggest Fear

“Always do what you’re afraid to do” they say/

But that is really hard to do at the end of the day/

My biggest fear was one that is not exactly tangible/

But once you conquer it, it becomes indescribable/

Going into it, everyone will tell you it is very scary/

Because in most experiences people become very unwary/

My biggest fear was falling in love/

It gives you all types of feelings that are hard to get rid of/

They tend to be feelings that you cannot explain/

Nor are they very easy to contain/

I will share the story of when I first fell in love/

Which would not have been possible with out a little shove/

Our whole lives we had lived two hours and thirty-eight minutes apart/

Which was one of the reasons our relationship was hard to kick start/

We had known each other for as long as I can remember/

And our story begins at a restaurant called Oak and Ember/

Before that night, we had never spoken word/

Which I know sounds very, very absurd/

We ate a delicious dinner and then got ice cream/

Spending that time together, well, it felt like a dream/

I never knew exactly how funny he could be/

Until he started sharing his corny little jokes with me/

No matter what he said, it put a big smile on my face/

Putting my heart in a very happy place/

After a very informative and fun night out/

It was one of the best I’ve ever had, without a doubt/

I realized I had feelings for him that I’d never had for someone before/

Feelings that hit my heart right to it’s core/

Falling in love requires the risk of rejection/

But with him, I trusted in our natural connection/

I told myself to go for it, I could no longer live in fear/

Not when my feelings were so very crystal clear/

Even from the first moment I made him smile/

I knew he was going to be worth my while/

What we have is nothing like I have ever felt before/

But what’s mind blowing is that I know there so much for in store/

Yes, the idea of falling in love can be very scary/

And now having experienced it, I can’t say anything contrary/

When falling in love you take many risks/

But what outweighs them are all the amazing benefits/

Feelings that are truly out of this world is what you get/

Which is why I encourage everyone to take the risk and find their perfect fit/

He turns my black and white into different shades of grey/

I love him with my whole heart, in every possible way
