Fear

The echo of his voice
Smoothes my soul.
His comforting words
Make me sigh.

His open arms
Make my world
Feel more secure.
His olive skin close
To mine
Makes my heart
Beat even faster
Than usual.
I am afraid of
Confessing my true
FEELINGS,
I am afraid of
Giving myself again.
The honest truth,
For Him, it is worth the risk!

He may feel rejected,
But that is not true.
I do not have the courage
To face a new challenge
Even though this discovery
May not represent neither the beginning
Nor the end of anything.
In my moments of despair,
I want to see him smiling again.
I want to be in his arms.
I better welcome the future remembering
The past will be over soon
And, most important, I must live the present with joy.

He will be my hope
And my light on the horizon
Where I will be able to see clear again.
