Afraid of Love - For a Friend

I understand Truely I do You forget dear friend, I am in fact like you. I was once afraid, and if truth must be told, I continue to be afraid, even as my Darling and I grow old. We each have our own hopes, and with each soul comes individual dreams. To find someone who is compatable is a terrifying thing. But no life is a waste, no presence is less than the other, your co-ed was wrong, as was my mother. I understand your fear, I once drowned in it myself, running away, pushing away help. I wanted to be touched, I wanted to be loved, but It was like a fire, so beautiful I was afriad I would burn. You must swallow your fear, wade into the water, once you find your own Dear, you will calm and know that there is no other. It wont come at first, its a gradual thing, but when you feel that tug on your heart, do not cut the strings. You dont just hurt yourself, you hurt those that care, the ones that dream, to be in your air. Open your heart, and be not afraid, soon it will come and you will rejoyce in the day.
