Although I’m afraid of heights
If you were a skyscraper
I would climb to your highest point
just to see your point of view

And although I’m afraid of the unknown
If you were the ocean
I would swim through your depths
just to greet the angels and demons
that dwell within you

And although I am afraid of rejection
If you were Harvard Law
I would write you a thousand applications
Just for a chance to take up your time

Although I am afraid of commitment
I would tattoo your name across my chest
and burn your initials into my heart
just to show you

I’m not afraid
of you
