#Poem 117: Afraid

At nights like these I ask myself
Why am I so afraid about it
About falling in love
And taking the first step
My heart then speaks that it’s not love
That scares you oh dear!
It’s the falling part, the pain
That you can no longer bear
What if things are better this time?
What if it is the one!!
But what if the words fade away
Again and it is soon done
Only if the words were enough
To know if this won’t hurt
I would’ve held your hand
And ran to the outskirts
Then aim at the stars at night
Stargazing through your eyes
And would promise a forever
Of stars and sunrise.
