" Love "
If you're too afraid when love comes
to simply just reach out,
if it offers to stay but you turn away
a prisoner of all your doubts,
If the next time love lies within your hand
hopeful as you watch it linger,
and again you refuse just to hold onto it
as it slowly slips through your fingers,
If love has stood before you again and again
and you chose not to embrace but to leave it,
your fear has crippled you to the point
that you can no longer move to retrieve it,
If love finds a way into your life
and you choose not to defend or protect it,
against the temptations and threats that exist
it will die for you chose to neglect it,
Love being love may someday return
but if you keep on just watching it go,
true love and trust and complete happiness
are things you will never know...
