Looking Beyond the Fear

Opening my heart to you, I fear what may occur
But I cannot let the fear inside cause my eyes to blur
I need to put aside the past and see you for who you are
And not let it hurt when I think about your scar
It’s a permanent mark that will never go away
But I don’t want to let it stand in the way
Because you mean way too much to me to let it come between
Especially since Jesus has washed your slate clean
You are not the same guy who once played the field
I realize I can trust you and finally get rid of this shield
Pulling away and hiding from love, I thought would keep me from harm
But living inside walls cannot compare to being in your arms
Hurting me is the last thing you would ever want to do
And I believe that one day I will be able to trust in you
You are so understanding, patient, sweet and kind
All the traits in a guy I never thought I’d find
Every little thing you say helps me see you’re not the same
As that one in my past that always placed the blame
I was afraid you would be so similar, love me to let me fall
But I’m realizing now your intentions aren’t so small
Your trust is in God and I admire the faith you pursue
Which is another trait I find so attractive in you
You are so supportive of my decision to wait
Even though I know that you really want to date
You understand who I am and why I act the way I do
And don’t brush off all the pain I claim to be true
You notice all the little things that mean so much to me
And desire to slowly gain my trust, and help my heart be free
I am admittedly terrified of the day it may all end
And hope that I will never lose you as my awesome friend
And if it is in God’s will for us to be made one
I know I can trust that you will never run
