I was too scared to look at you
my fear pulled my eyes away
and i was choked by the strength of uncertainty
so you looked at me

i was too scared to smile at you
my muscles froze like ice
and doubt inhabited my mind and cluttered my thoughts
so you smiled at me

i was too scared to speak to you
my tounge protested its movements
and the possibility of saying something stupid clouded my head
so you spoke to me

i was too scared to love you
my blurry past proves me a skeptic
and i worry that your feelings are less than mine
but you love me

and now I'm not afraid of love
for its been inside me all along
so i let my walls down, and now im free
and i think "maybe love was afraid of me"
