If I were to love you
My world would crash and burn
Please do not give this any grief
Because a fault in you- I cannot find
I can’t find a single thing that wrongs you
For it is so easy to fall in love with you
And that is why I am distraught
Because I am falling- and falling hard
Down I fall from space above
Speeding towards Earth with remarkable heat and frenzy
But as I fall I grow afraid
Afraid of crashing
Afraid that if I call out your name
You will not be there to catch me
I am afraid I will yell so loudly
I will drive myself horse with words ment only for you
But… Worse fears reside
Deep within my aching heart
What if…
What if you were to catch me
What on Earth do I have to offer?
For one as brilliant as I find you
What if you hold me tight
Tight enough to carry my fear and fights
Only to tire
And throw me back the way I came
What if I am left to aimlessly wonder space
With no guidance or home to gravitate to
If I were to love you
Would my bones shatter and my blood spill?
Would your rejection haunt me still?
Would I be left alone, mine soul to kill?
I am scared of the if
If I were to love you
