People want to know love
They want to know the warmth
Of another beating heart
Beating solely for them
They want to know
That someone smiles
When thoughts of you
Flood their memory
That you are contestly racing
In their thoughts
And you cannot escape
Their imagination
Because they won't let you
They would rather have day dreams
Of being with you
And time pass them by
Then to go a moment
Without you entering their thoughts
People crave that feeling
Of vulnerability
In the arms of a person
Who swears never to let them go
To cherish every moment
Spent with them
And every kiss shared
People crave those intimate
Moments
When time gazes at their
Slice of heaven and never disturbs it
Yet at the mention of love
You tremble in fear
And your heart races for the mountains
Why do you run?
Are you so scared of being loved
Or loving someone
That every bone in your body
Turns to fluid
And you slip away into the cracks
At the sound of anothers voice
Saying I love you
Are you so scared of love
That you choose not
To acknowledge the feelings
That brew up inside of you
Are you so scared of love
That being intimate with someone
Tarnishes every fibre of your being
Are you so scared of revealing
Yourself to another
So that they may gaze at you
In your splendor
To see all your imperfections
And all the glimpses of magic
Which you bear
Are you scared of being vulnerable
Placing your deep desires
In the hands of another
And them placing theirs in yours
Why do you tremble in fear
When you hear the word love
Being uttered by another being
When it is being flung
Towards your direction
When love is meant for you
And non other
Why do you shake in disbelief
And choose to be closed up
Rather then being receptive
And reciprocal about it
Why are you scared of being loved?
Why are you scared of loving?
Why are you scared of love?
