My Dilemma

Who ever thought that once I got you back
I would be unable to allow myself to move forward
to experience the true bliss of your arms around me
of your heart beating side by side with mine

That the love that we are able to make would leave me wondering
what you're feeling
what you're thinking
and if what you promise will become a reality

i'm scared to lose you
I've dealt with that for almost 4 months now
it's not that i'm scared of being alone
because having your friendship was almost as lonely

i held so much back for four months
that i've grown accustomed to putting on a stone face
to swallowing words
to avoid alienating you

but now it's only me whose alienated
i'm afraid of you
not afraid of your words, or you leaving me
neither can harm me, nor will you leave me

but i'm afraid of loving you
of how much it might hurt
if you can't return to the man you were
and i can't make you happy like i once did

all this pressure that looms behind me
i dread waking up in the morning to see your admiration
because deep down i feel that i don't deserve it
it doesn't feel real

i've held back for so long
that honesty is hard to bear
that passionate embraces make me uncomfortable
it's not that i don't love you or that i doubt your love for me

i'm just so confused
so entwined in a reality where we'll never reunite
that now that we have reunited i'm in disbelief
afraid that once i get your love, i'll only throw it away
