If I Weren'T Afraid

If I weren't afraid
I would stand strong
Face my fear
And take you by the hand
Look into your eyes
And I would tell you 
Just how much I adore you

If I weren't afraid
I would realize
My dreams
And live a life with you
Eager to take you
To places where
We've never been before

If I weren't afraid
I would step out
Proclaim my love
Hold you in my arms
And tell the world 
Just how much
I love you

Hello Timothy … nicely described Timothy. Is it fear or nervous tension? I think they go hand in hand - thanks Timothy - Lindsay

Be brave! Another well expressed piece that I am sure many can relate to. I wonder how many happily ever afters have been missed?
