Afraid Of Love

"I'm afraid I cannot meet you..."
She's afraid of meeting me.
She's afraid of moving quickly.
She can see.

She's afraid she cannot meet me.
"How about another week..."
She's afraid of where we're going.
What I seek.

We're afraid of love.
We're afraid of being hurt.
We're afraid of love.
Of love.

"I'm afraid I cannot meet you..."
are the words she said to me.
She's afraid of complicating
family.

I'm afraid of inexperience.
"I'm afraid..." her words are code.
We're afraid of what we're seeing
down the road.

We're afraid of love.
We're afraid of being hurt.
We're afraid of love.
Of love.
