Strength To Love

afraid to love, afraid to trust
been down this road before
hard to tell if the person interested wants love or lust
afraid to get hurt again
afraid to risk my all again
just to be proven wrong once again
but so desperately want to love and to be loved
the way love is suppose to flow naturally
looking for that gentle, loving presence
someone to give me hope
to trust and fall in love once more
