I Was Too Scared To Love

In the beginning of my teen years, I really didn't trust to love
when you can't trust your parent to love you how can you think of
someone else giving you that privilege, why would they
if your mom and dad didn't want to be around you or stay
so you get tough and you depend on yourself
you learn to take all the punches below the belt
until you learn that it can't just be that guy after guy
can't be lying and sometimes a couple of them will cry
when the tell you they love you straight from their heart
and they don't want to leave you and never to part
but should you really let them in
what would it mean to your life if you if you got hurt again
could your heart take it, is it a trick, can it be?
are they telling the truth, meaning these things sincerely?
I let my guard down once and for all
and I loved back and it felt so good and I had a ball
he told me he loved me over and over
we'd lay in the grass and roll in the clover
we even go married was this all a dream
would I regret this, it sure didn't seem
like it would ever die
and I wouldn't lie
maybe it is true
I'm still with this fool
28 yrs later and it is still strong
where are you God you did it all the days long
my days are still happy being with him
he is my first love and will always win
this heart that couldn't love cause I wouldn't let it
now what would I do if I didn't see fit
thank you the makers be
for letting me trust which wasn't easy
he has my heart, my soul
God you always told me so
