Paradox Poem by Shelby Marie Peters

I want to fall for you...
But I'm scared of the jump.
I want to be with you...
But Im scared to be near you.

I want to lean on you...
But I just can't trust you.
I want you to love me...
But I'm scared to let you know me.

I want you to hear me...
But I'm scared to speak up!
(and what if you don't listen)

I need some sorta sign...
But I'm way too scared to look.
I want to hear you say my name...
But I'm scared of what the reasons.

I guess what makes Love so certain
Is the fact it's soo unstable...
The fact it's soo enticing
Is what makes it so very frightening...
