I'm Afraid
February 12, 2015
I’m afraid to love
And I’m afraid to laugh
I’m afraid of commitment
And I’m afraid it won’t last
I’m afraid to smile
And I’m afraid to be me
I’m afraid of rejection
And I’m afraid to let you see
I’m afraid to help
And I’m afraid to care
I’m afraid to love you
And I’m afraid you won’t be there
I’m afraid to open up my heart
And I’m afraid to let my colors shine
I’m afraid to accept you
And I’m afraid you won’t be mine
I’m afraid of all these things
Because I’m afraid…….To let myself be happy

If you love someone, let them go, if they come back then they're yours. If they don't then it wasn't meant to be.
