Too Afraid to Love You

#3

Through mist and rain, I wandered far and wide 
My heart still aching, with love still denied 
But fate had other plans, as oft it does 
And led me to a place, where love once was 

A rose garden, with blooms of every hue 
A sight so wondrous, my heart skipped anew 
But then I saw you, amidst the petals fair 
And all at once, I felt love in the air 

You smiled at me, and reached out your hand 
I felt a warmth, that I could not withstand 
And then I knew, that I must take the chance 
To seize love's bloom, and feel its sweet romance 

With trembling heart, I took your hand in mine 
And felt a spark, that grew with each design 
Our love bloomed like a rose, with each passing day 
And slowly, my fear and doubts, began to fade away 

For love had shown me, that risks are worth the pain 
That life's sweetest blooms, come after winter's rain 
And though our love may have thorns, as roses do 
I know that with you, I am never too afraid to love anew.
