Afraid to say I love you

Afraid to say i love you
fearing to be wrong
i don't want to be vulnerable
I'm not so very strong

afraid that when i say it
you'll find things i lack
I'll convince you not to love me
Then might never come on back

afraid that you might laugh at me
and tell me I'm joke
I'll get all red and embarrassed
and then I'll start to choke

because i love you dearly
into the dark late night
I've never lost faith in us
not after each and every fight

so when i say these words
the biggest that i know
promise me you'll accept them
and not take it as a blow

know that I'm a little nervous
and frighteningly afraid
i love you with all my heart
and I'll never let it fade

i know that you're the one for me
and i can say them true
kiss me now and forever more
because boy, i love you
