For the Fear of Love

He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in her neck

He twirled her around and kissed her pink soft lips.

I’m scared, she said against his face.

I’m scared you’ll go away, like all the ones before, like all the ones I’ve dated.

Like the ones who left me after giving them my time

And the one who threw me against the wall, but I said I was fine.

I’m afraid you’ll go away, and I’ll be left with nothing at all.

But a broken heart and memories that will surely start to fall.

I’m scared that I’m not good enough to hold you in my grasp.

That you’ll slip away and that will be that. That the daily conversations and the way you held me tight with be nothing but a memory of a fantastic fading night.

But the one thing that keeps me tethered to your touch is the way you make the stars light up whenever our fingers brush. I feel the electricity running through my veins and I can’t help but to think that this could be something great.

He looked her in the eyes and said I’ll never go away.

There will never be a day where everything will fade

Because even though you can’t believe it and don’t see everything you are,

I’ve fallen in love with you, and with every single scar

Upon your hand and on your hip and everywhere in between.

I love the scars he left on you, it makes you a human being.

He kissed her again and captured her lips and everything felt right.

They laid in bed and ended up staying up all night.

She looked out the window and thanked the stars above

For sending her an angel and how she fell in love.
