Terminal Bliss

Is it okay to be afraid?
Because I am . . . sometimes,
Afraid of taking a chance,
Afraid of losing,
Even afraid of winning sometimes.

I'm scared to love too much,
Scared to hold on too tight
When you may want to be free;
Scared of letting go
When I need you to hold me.

And I need to know
If it's okay to feel afraid,
Because sometimes I am . . .
Because I love you so much.

You are a part of me . . .
a part that
I could
never live without

And I hope
And I pray
That I never have to . . .
