I am afraid to love and yet love you

a poem by Anjita

I am afraid to love, and yet I love you
My fear is like a wall I walk right through
The wall is there, and yet it doesn’t stop me
I need it still, and yet I still need you

I know someday we will be in a field
Surrounded by the blessing of the sky
I’ll dance with all the freedom of pure joy
Needing you without a reason why

But now I’m still afraid that I might lose you
That you might not accept my desperate need
You make me laugh and cry and be completely
You are the flower, I the slender reed
