I am Loving and Scared I wonder what two words others would use I hear a dozen different things I see my closest friend smiling from the crowd as I read their lips "Kind" I want those I love to feel they are valued
I am Loving and Scared I pretend I'm not afraid to dissuade others from fear I feel guilty for situations I had no hand in I touch my hand to theirs in an attempt to ground us both I worry I'll someday lose them, or worse, they'll push me away I cry when I'm alone and think of all that will be lost to time
I am Loving and Scared I understand that such is the cycle of life I say "I Love you" but the words are misunderstood I dream of feeling warm and safe in someone's embrace I try to be open to all opportunities I hope that it will lead me down the right path
