I want to love you, but I'm afraid Of what might happen if I do Will you hurt me, betray me, or leave me Or will you stay loyal, faithful, and true? I want to commit to you, but I'm scared Of what might change if I say yes Will you cage me, control me, or smother me Or will you free me, support me, and bless? I want to trust you, but I'm doubtful Of what you might do with my heart Will you break it, abuse it, or ignore it Or will you heal it, cherish it, and guard? I want to be with you, but I'm hesitant Of what the future might hold for us Will you grow with me, laugh with me, or dream with me Or will you stagnate, cry, or fuss? I want to open up to you, but I'm nervous Of what you might think of me Will you judge me, mock me, or reject me Or will you accept me, respect me, and see? I want to share with you, but I'm shy Of what you might say or do Will you listen, understand, or comfort me Or will you interrupt, argue, or accuse? I want to give you, but I'm cautious Of what you might expect or demand Will you appreciate, reciprocate, or thank me Or will you take, manipulate, or command?
