Two-Faced Fear

It’s said we only fear 

What we can’t see;

I can’t see inside your heart,

And if I could 

It would scare me still;

It has right from the start.

At first I feared 

You wouldn’t love me,

And then I feared 

You would;

And then you loved

And I did not,

Your love for me 

Did no good;

That is until 

One day I found

I loved your love as much

As you, or me, or anything.

My life needed your touch

To help me grow within;

Without you I’d not be

All I ever wanted

Or thought I could be.
