Fear of Love

I want to feel safe to be me, I want to know it’s okay if love was on the table, but even if it is not.

I want to be held in the arms of my lover with reverence and feel peace while I’m there

I want to let our eyes meet hands and fingers interlaced heat on my skin felt as your lips press against mine sweet and wet tender kisses follow

Deep connection is something I crave, and yet by the same wish of closeness I fear what I may lose because of it.

Much work is still to be done if love is to be shared without fear of lose of connection to another and of myself.
