Afraid

I'm afraid
I'm afraid to touch you mentally
I'm afraid of commitment with you
I'm afraid that the future will be different than what I plan
I'm afraid my plans don't match yours
I'm afraid you might move away form me
I'm afraid a different person will take me
I'm afraid I am not strong in the face of charm
I'm afraid of missing the right one
I'm afraid missing you will lose the right one
I'm afraid i might be swept away
I'm afraid you are sweeping me away
I'm afraid you could control me
I'm afraid i might be too controling
I'm afraid I would let us down
I'm afraid you will let me down
I'm afraid I'm too afraid
I'm afraid of not being afraid
but when you hold me close i'm not afraid..
and that scares me
