Love Poem: Holding On To My Fears

Holding On To My Fears

In my reality
He is my fantasy
Teasing me every waking moment
Tempting me
With his memory
In the night
So why does needing him
Feel so damn right
Can't escape this
God knows I've tried
Won't even go there
About how many times for him I've cried
My life has had plenty of surprises
But this is the biggest of all
What is God really trying to do
Make me fall
Why put anyone 
Through all this pain and sorrow
Instead of hiding away
I should be living like
There's no tomorrow
I should be there with him
Letting him know
With him I want to begin again
Our love don't know bounds
And it has never known an end
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
Then if I don't find out there will be more regrets
I long to have him here in my bed
His sweet kisses and soft touch
That I deeply miss so much
But I'm here crying and such
Eyes so swelled I'm blinded with tears
Do I face them once and for all
Or continue to live this way
Holding on to my fears
