Too Afraid to Love You

#4

I see her in my dreams, a vision so divine
A heart so full of love, a gentle soul so kind
But fear holds me back, from confessing my desire
I fear the pain I'll cause, if my heart catches fire

Her smile shines so bright, like sunlight on a rose
Her laughter like a balm, that soothes my troubled woes
But still I'm hesitant, to take that fateful step
For fear of causing harm, that I cannot forget

I watch her from afar, as she goes about her day
Hoping for a sign, that will show me the way
But still I am left, with doubts that plague my mind
Will I ever find the courage, to leave my fears behind?

Her heart is pure and true, a treasure to behold
I fear that I'm not worthy, to have her heart and soul
But still I cannot help, these feelings that persist
My heart yearns for her touch, her embrace and her kiss

So I write these words, a confession of my heart
Hoping that somehow, they will help me start
A journey to her heart, a journey of love and trust
Hoping that my fears, will not turn it to dust

Oh woman of my dreams, with a heart so pure and true
I pray that you will find, these words sincere and true
For though I may be scared, to confess my love to you
Know that in my heart, I'm afraid of hurting you.
