Forever Human

Forever scared to show my love
because what if it is what will scare away?

Forever scared to speak my words
because what if they are what won't make you stay?

Forever scared to think of my dream
because what if it isn't for what you aim?

Oh,
the human,
the me,
which won't go away. 
Oh,
for the "what if's" 
it is to stay.
