Why Are You Afraid
I have already lived a lonely life so long.
No longer want I to live my life alone,
For I found the one I love.
But she is afraid of the possibility that some one might love her unconditionally, even with her past mistakes.
She is afraid to see herself through my eyes, the most beautiful woman ever.
She wonders around looking for happiness, even though she knows she is looking in all of the wrong places.
Why are you afraid of love, my love?
Why do you seek people with empty love and broken promises?
Haven’t you suffered enough in your life?
Why do you keep torturing yourself?
Why won’t you let me help carry your burdens in life by your side?
Why won’t you give me a chance to love you?
Instead you give me stolen glances when you think that I don’t see you.
Your eyes keep finding me without your own knowledge some times,
And yet it is the same for me,
Our hearts keep wondering around, trying to forget one another.
But in the end, our hearts find each other again.
And our happiness returns, happiness that I can only get when I see you,
And hopefully, happiness and love that I give you.
But one question is still so very unclear?
Why are you afraid of my love?
…with your stolen eye glances.
