Scared to Love

I read all these poems,
and hear all my friends take about it,
Love...Love...Love..

I am afraid of love,
i'm afraid of what it can bring,
what it can cause

I'm afraid to open my heart to a boy,
afraid to let him in,
afraid to give him all my trust,
afraid to let him know my fears.

I want love.

I want to have this love
with the boy i have my eyes on,
this sweet boy who i know would treat me right.

But there is one problem,
he has had a lot of girlfriends,
i dont think he has ever cheated on them,
but you get what i mean.

I want love so bad,
it eats me up inside,
even if its not love,
just someone whos there
who i can kiss, and who can hold me.

I have had boyfriends,
but those were when i was young,
so those dont really count,
it has been a two years since my last boyfriend.

I have been asked out so many times,
but every single time i've said no,
even if the boy is acceptable.

i want love so bad its eats me up inside.
Love...Love...Love
