Love
Dearest
Dare I love you?
or say as much
I ‘am not that brave
for I know, I may lose you
before I go
that pain, I already know
if not, and I go first
the pain and loss
will be the same
why
the fear and guilt
make me stand alone
I cannot say
but I do know,
It’s because I’m afraid
Of a broken heart
To tell you so.
you showed me
happiness and fun
and gave me
children I had to love
and the need
to accept the fear
and love anyway
