you scare me

it scares me when i look at you
and secretly admit to myself
that i can love you so deeply -
and with all that i am

it scares me when i see my future
lying in those beautiful eyes
and can't even begin to imagine
my life if you weren't in it

it scares me when you hold me so close
that the sound of our hearts
beat together
in one rhythmic, heaven-sent song

it scares me that all i can seem to
think about whenever i'm without you
is how long i'll have to wait until
i see that familiar face again.

it scares me how there are no words
true enough to describe
my undying love
and hopeless devotion to you

but most of all it scares me when
i see your hand fit perfectly with mine
and think of that dreadful day
when your hand begins to slowly slip away......

    I think you've really captured what makes falling in love so scary. Wow. Complete vulnerability with someone you cherish so much.

    fear is one of those things that holds love too, too tightly, strangles both and all around. A powerful poem, blessings and best wishes, ~richard

    This is an excellent. And at the beginning of the love I have now I thought exactly like this...but then if the love is strong enough your fears will go away...and that's a glorious thing. You have described me to a T....lol. Well the old me. Thanx for a wonderful poem.......................Jessica.

    *stands proudly cuz she's the "fit to a T gal"
    And yes'um, that is me, in a lot of ways,
    beautiful, it is scary to read something you're thinking and feeling written by someone else.
    Lovely write. Take care.
