Would You

I’m afraid to share my heart
I’m afraid to love
I’m afraid to give you a chance 
Or anything above
If I was to take a chance and open my heart
Would you ever hurt me and tear it apart ?
Would you kiss me and caress me at night ?
If I was having a bad day would you be there
To make it alright ?
Would you be my man and much more ?
Would you ever raise your hand to hit me ?
Would you ever leave me for another ?
If I needed someone to listen to my problems
Would you be there to listen ?
If I needed a shoulder to cry on 
Would you offer yours ?
Would you lie to me ?
Would you say things just to make me happy ?
Would you show me respect and treat me like your Queen ?
If we were to get into a fight 
Would you stay and work it out ?  
Or Would you leave without making things right?
If I gave you my heart 
Would you give me yours?
Or 
Would you let me love alone?

If we could get the answers beforehand it would be so easy, but the truth is we never know until we test the water, love Elizabeth

Yeah and thats so true and even when yhu think you are ready to open your heart you still have that fear of being hurt that you hold a shield over your heart or try to escape before your hurt. Thats Just The way Love Goes I Guess.
