I never knew much of love
I can't say I've ever been very fond of it
But I know that when the sadness became the sea
You taught me how to swim
And even now when I know you've run out of lifejackets
I look for you as I'm drowning
Maybe it's because I miss you
Or maybe I just have no one else
And alone stings worse then the sea

I'm not afraid of you
But I fear all you are to say
Or all you are not going to say
I fear your eyes
And I fear your smile
But I know I cannot resist you
I cannot give you up
I fear living with you for fear of
Living without you
And most of all I fear
Not ever being able to fall out
Of love with you

I wonder if people would
Touch me if they knew the places that
My hands have been, what hearts they've
Held and crushed and cradled, what words
They write when they are lonely
And how I am afraid of the spaces between
My         Own        Fingers
