My Fear

Fear of losing that one person that is the world to you..

My Fear

You found out my fear..

I tried so hard to keep it hidden

But you saw right through me

I didn’t want you to know

But at the same time I do

Can you blame me though?

Its happened before,

More then once..

Yeah, you’ve proved to me

That your not going any where

But the fear of losing you

Is still buried in my heart

We are way into deep now

You’ve made me fall in love

With everything you are

We’ve been through so much, baby

And I know the feeling

Of being with someone with a fear

But I just can’t help it

You asked me how you

Can make me feel secure

I didn’t know what to say

I just laid there quiet

Listening to you

Telling me you’ll never leave,

How much you love me,

And you don’t know what you’d

Do without me

Believe me when I say

That I believe every word

I don’t doubt you or us

I do trust you

And I do love you so

I guess the fear of losing you

Will always be apart of me

But I think it would have been anyway

Even if you didn’t in the past

But you still have me and I still have you

We wont break,

We wont fall.

The fear of losing someone you love

Is normal in my opinion

If you didn’t have that worry

You never really loved in the beginning..

When you first meet someone

You automatically think good thoughts,

If this person will last and if their the one

Once time passes and you’ve done everything together

You begin to get to know that person more and more

Even though I’ve been with you for 9 months

It feels so much longer..

Yes, I definitely agree with this key line: 'The fear of losing someone you love is normal'. Absolutely normal. You capture a universal feeling here, esp among women I suspect because women often have much more at stake in such matters. And of course there are millions of poems and songs about how things are when the fear you mention is realised. But it doesn't always happen that way. Good luck! I think when love matures into friendship, too, then the fear is less likely to happen because love alone is not enough often.

Many of us have that basic insecurity in relationships, I know I do. You conveyed this brilliantly in this poem which seems to me to be a happy poem at the end.
