I dedicate this to those who have been hurt so many times by another that it is scary to let another try to love you.

I stop myself…

Not from killing…

But of showing affection.

I want to know you…

I want you to love me…

But I am so afraid.

I yearn to touch you…

I yearn for you to hold me…

I stay silent & avoid you.

Can I trust my heart…

Does my love still exist…

May I have one chance?

What do I say…

Do I make the move or you…

Grant me strength to be patient?

A hope to keep me here…

Can it be…

Love me just once please.
