As Much Fear As I Have

As much fear as I have
I turn to you, I look to you, 
for you take my fear, 
And you do, you stole 
my pain but left my fear, 
so that I can lean on the woman I need, 
the one I love.
Should I spend my time
Should I spend it loving you?
Should I invest my time, 
should I invest my time in you? 
I love you,
I invest in you.
I extend my hand out, 
asking calmly, would you let me love you? 
Take my hand, love me, invest in me, 
can you tell me you love me? 
And I will speak aloud, 
to loving you.
