as I think of you
I look into the past
and see the fear
of yet another heartbreak

restraining me
distancing me
from that which I would say
from that which I would do

though truth it be that
every time i see you
i want to hold you close
and tell you how much you mean to me

if you only knew that i just sit here
waiting
aching
to hear your voice

the fear that keeps my love chained inside
fear of rejection
fear of betrayal
fear of being controlled by that which I love
is the mountain that I climb

and
times upon reaching a peak or plateau
I look back
to see how far we have come
on our path of love

and  
I look up
to see bright blue sky
chasing the clouds of fear away

and
then it is I see truth
and the nature of love

and then it is I know
that love triumphs over fear

and heals the wounds of our hearts
