AFRAID

Afraid

I'm so afraid to take the chance

And give love one more try

I've been alone so very long

Thought my feelings had run dry

 But now I see I was so wrong

They were hidden deep inside

Covered up by hurt and pain

And that silly thing called pride

 To set my feelings free again

Is difficult for me to do

Maybe I should leave them be

And to love I will bid adieu

 I know i'm being childish

But I've been hurt by love before

And rather than be hurt again

To romance, I've closed that door

 But time is stealing my youthfulness

And my life I'm ready to share

I've found someone who wants the chance

To love me and always be there

 So I must let go of these "jitters"

And stop being so afraid

Give it over to God and remember

This is exactly for what I have prayed
