Afraid of Rejection

I quietly profess my love, silently, eternally
She is timid, shy, afraid of being rejected.
Alone, she skittles into the shadows of fear.
I attempt to coax her out, but she stays safe.
I have not yet met the right guy, apparently
When I do, I am sure she will ease out,
Fearless and assertive; that is what love does, right?
