Falling in love is risky and frightening as well as wonderful!

Dare I let you find the heart of me?
Perhaps become a most important part of me?
Dare I let the feelings flow?
Give love another chance to grow?
Dare I let go
when I’m so safe alone?

I’ve tasted love’s delights before
believed the years to be secure
rejoiced in sweetest tenderness
bound one to one in happiness
yet life’s distress
found me alone.

Your grey eyes smile on me
despite myself beguiling me.
Will I be again bemused?
Will I hurt and confuse?
Should I refuse?
Remaining strong alone.
