Whats Your Fear

The fear of my heart stopping, when I first say hello. But worse would be if yours stopped, what a way to go The fear of not seeing you after all of this long time That fear is the greatest, that would surely be a crime The fear of you not liking me, I’m a disillusionment A fear of you finding, I was not from heaven sent. A fear of something happening to stop me meeting you A fear of all these things, what would I now do? The biggest fear of all would be liking you too much What would I do then, if sparks flew when our hands touch. The fears they are just growing to proportions that are phobic Perhaps I should concentrate on certain things more aerobic. Deep breaths in to calm the heart, reduce the blood pressure too And rubber gloves to catch the sparks, if I ever do meet you. They say face your fears to cure them, that’s what I intend to do Looking forward to that day whenever I meet you... © ~GG~2?11/2102
