Fear

Looking into the mirror
I wonder what you see in me
what makes you love me so much
that you put yourself before me

giving me your whole heart
doesn't seem that difficult for you
it's never been hard for me before
yet somehow it is now

maybe because i can sense a possible future with you
i'm afraid
i'm unable to defend myself
everytime i feel closer, you pull away, or is it only me

i'm imagining that things are worse than what they really are
why
because you are too good for me
how can i ever hope to measure up to your standards

i'm afraid of disappointing you
i'm afraid of losing you
i'm afraid of loving you too much
and having you love me less because of it

i'm afraid of what might be, and what could be
and what is
but you're already showing signs of disinterest
yet somehow i strive to keep my head above water

if only i could take your hand
and you could feel my inner turmoil
could you erase all the pain
and show me that i have nothing to fear
