A Cautious Risk

Your perfect in almost every since
A demeanor that warms my heart
It would please me to end up with you
The problem is I just wont start

Wanting to let you in
But my feelings cause a blockage
Half of me says yes half of me says no
My hearts just being cautious

Scared of putting in too much 
Just to return and see nothing
Knowing that you cant wait, I try to debate
And hopefully come up with something 

Though you are very different
It’s all the same I’m fearing
Accepting you and loving you
Then you disappearing

Wish I could believe what you say 
But there are little value in words
And peoples action don’t match what they say
So it contradicts the things you’ve heard 

Confused with all my thoughts
That interfere with what I feel
The past affects me so much 
It seems hard to find the will 

To open up a closed door
Not knowing what lies a wait
So I keep that same door shut
So that my feelings wont escape

Chopped up and butchered like before
Highly elevated off the ground
I refuse to get back up that high 
Just to be let down

Though our feelings are mutual
And together we are bliss
I hate when things happen twice
So don’t know if I want to take that Cautious Risk
