Afraid Of Falling

In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious And Most Merciful

Each time you say "I love you",

I flinch.

Each time you want to kiss,

I want to pull away.

When you call,

I'm afraid to answer.

Each e-mail,

I fear to read.

There's a past,

One not so distant.

It's controlling,

Holding me back.

There's scars,

One I can't erase.

Fear grips me,

As your arms hold me tighter.

I feel like running at times,

But something is pulling.

Pulling me back to you,

This something I can't explain.

But it leaves me screaming out your name,

When darkness grabs at me.

Your light shines through,

I want to believe this love is true.

But I am still afraid,

Afraid to fall in love.
