gentle waves of heartbreak

scared of love's shadow

Is love always meant to be this scary?

This full of fear?

Because I keep on freezing

Anytime that you're near.

My adrenaline runs high

Every time I catch your gaze. 

I feel like a thief on the run

Trying to lose you on the pathways. 

This can't be healthy, 

How I'm stuck in fight or flight, 

I don't know if I'll run to kiss you, 

Or leave you in the night. 

Yet when is falling in love, 

Not like feeling afraid?

With all it's clever twists and turns, 

It's hard to keep up in the fray. 

So there's one simple question, 

That will let me guarantee

That my feelings aren't one-sided:

"Are you scared of me?"
