Ready For Love

When we have been hurt by love
We run when someone comes along
To show us it is ok, to want to belong

We run from someone who makes us smile
Thinking, here we go again, or do we sit idle
And hope, this time is it, and not another trial.

We think we are ready and strong
To be able to love without fear
But in reality, love is fear itself.
