You wonder if our love is true
And are having doubts
This I understand
I don't blame you

It is true however
That love is terrifying
And the things that die inside
When it doesn't work
Sometimes never come back

I am also frightened
Of being hurt again
It took much courage
To take a chance with you
I am not privy
To what the future may hold
I didn't know what to say to you
So I wrote it in a poem

I know that we have something special
If we nourish it
It will grow
But I cannot force you to love me
Nor would I if I could

I care for you and am here for you
Anything worth having
Is worth fighting for
And the risk that comes with that
I think is worth taking
But that's just my point of view
