Undecided

Your heart is tardy,
hardly used except to whisper 
words of courteous affection.

Passion takes a backseat with your
carefully selected styles of self-protection.
'I love you' hardly ever leaves your lips.

Is it fear of letting go that stills your
soul, or the fear you'll get too close
that keeps you undecided?
