Recognition of fear

how fear can paralyze a bond

 

You could be so much to me

Were you not so far

You could be a dream to me

Or maybe you just are

I love the time you give me

It leaves me wanting more

The time we get to spend together

Is time I do adore!

You bring to me a happiness!

Not often would I share

And just to have you in my world

I see me start to care

For the little things you give to me

The ways I make you mine

To share a friendship such as this

The feelings that I find

I try to build a bridge to you

Not an easy thing to do

For a bridge is never built by one

Surely must be built by two

And thoughts that cross the miles

The miles that keep us apart

Still I try to open me

To see you in my heart

Surely all this cannot be real

For silly would I be

For the things I see in you

Could never really be?

And how to know from so far

As to let them even reside

For your words have been spoken

Telling me they would hide

Yet how could one ever really know

The future not ours to tell

Although dreams only come to be

If we act on them as well

What in your heart would only hide?

To risk not be set free

So a path remains not walked at all

For it’s just what we won’t see

Nothing left to chance

With no pain to grow

Remaining safe behind our fear

Of just what we choose not to know
