Are you Afraid

Are you afraid?
Does the thought of having such a huge connection with someone both frighen and thrill you
Does it seem to good to be true?
That i should be there for you, and understand you better than anyone else has

I find it hard to believe myself
but this doesn't cause me to push myself away from you
Don't be afraid, there is nothing to fear
I will not hurt you, I am what I seem

I have been so hurt in my past, that I am afraid to let go
Afraid to imagine that the possibility of finding my soul mate might happen
I believed that I was destined to love only one
But the conversations between us linger on my mind

We are so well suited, we have so much in common that it's scary
How did this happen?
Why did this happen?
I decided not to question only to go with what is meant to be

I am not saying that we are meant to be, it would be great
but it doesn't have to be true
I feel for you somewhat, as you feel for me, frightened of suffocation
and terrified of pain

I have been in pain so long that I remember nothing but
I am currently counting my days away from this hell hole known as my life
could you be the person to help me escape til may
to be there for me, to offer a helping hand, a guiding light

with you, I have no doubts that you are a good person
I have just doubted for so long, that to doubt seems only natural
Again, I have been hurt
Do not be afraid of me

Are you afraid?
Afraid that I will break your defenses down, leave you vulnerable
I have been vulnerable too long, but I long for security
I long for hope, happiness, love and most of all common ground

We share a common ground, I think you know this, and it freaked you out
I didn't say anything to freak you out, but sometimes men scare themselves off
Do not be afraid of me, I am extending my hand of fellowship to you
Please take it, it will keep you from fear
