Philophobia (n.) The fear of falling in love.
I've been hurt
by a lover
and perhaps falling in love
isn't all that matters
if that's how it ends.
But I want love,
I want to be held in my obscure moments,
may love isn't all that bad,
maybe philophobia isn't for me.
Perhaps it's
agliophobia
the fear of being hurt.
Agliophobia (n.) The fear of being hurt.
