Afraid

When I first saw you, I was afraid to meet you.
When I first met you, I was afraid to let you hold me.
When you first held me, I was afraid to let you kiss me.
When you first kissed me, I was afraid to let you make love to me.
When we first made love, I was afraid I would fall for you.
Knowing I can't fall for you, I'm afraid what we have will end.
