My fear is of nothing,
I fear no one.
My fear is of time,
Time spent alone.
My fear is of love,
True love unshared.
My fear is of the stars,
Stars I gaze upon alone.
My fear is of empty arms,
Arms without someone to cuddle.
My fear is of a single wine glass,
No one to share a romantic bottle with.
My fear is of an empty theater seat,
No one to enjoy the movie with.
My fear is of a cold hand,
No one to grip it and keep it warm.
My fear is of fast food,
No one to take to an elegant dinner.
My fear is of a cold fireplace,
No one to share its warmth with.
My fear is of my life,
No one to share it with.
My fear is that I'll find no one...
My fear is of nothing,
I fear no one...
