no longer afraid of love


I can be near you, and I can be happy,

But being sad away from you is scary

To let my happiness be dictated my another

It seemed like an anchor,

But Because You love me, and because you show it

because you never fail to let me know it

I was fine on my own, I was even happy,

then you kissed me, and I was so lonely

I became attached, but also hesitant

I felt you were using me and I became distant

we had the same issues, and the same humor

The same distrusts but such different futures   

when I left, and you told me you were in love

I didn’t know what to say so I blushed

I didn’t believe you then, because why should I?

you showed me and you told me, but I still said goodbye

it was too late and I was gone,

At least that is what I thought.

But you didn’t give up, and you didn’t go

and that’s what I needed and have been looking for

You reach out, and comfort and console me

This is something that Is good, and it’s taken me a while to see

that all of this is true

and I love you
