Take a Chance On Our Love

Would it be worth it?
To venture out, 
to leave our comfort zones
only to get answers,
to questions that will 
only get answered
if we take the risk?

What would the welcome be like?
Will it be one with open arms?
or one that’s overflowing with qualms?

The anticipation is eating at me
maybe it has the same effect on you …

All the fear is there
what if it’s not what we expected?
What if it’s not the way we envisage it?
It’s scary,
being positive about our love 
and yet uncertain
about what to expect...

I’m stepping out,
are you willing to do it? 
Into the unknown
with the only certainty 
being our love for each other?
