Apprehensive. I didn't know that word. Apprehensive. I had to search the definition to be sure. Apprehensive. Is what you said I made you feel. Apprehensive. Is what you are. You're scared. You're scared that you're going to hurt me, you're scared that you're going to get hurt but how can you when you don't let me in? Don't force it. Don't force what? I can't force anything because there's nothing. The nothingness hurts worst than the something I hope to be there. Are you scared of hurting me? Cause I've already been hurt so bad I've been to rock bottom and brought myself back up. Not you -- me -- I did that. And if I can do it once, then I can do it again. There's nothing now you can do or say to hurt me more, so don't hold back. Don't be apprehensive or do but don't let that fear control you. Cause I've been there baby and I've seen the fear and the doubt and the worry that can consume you. So believe me when I say I'll be there for you. Even when you don't know. Even when you're scared. Even when you're fearful and especially when you're apprehensive.
