Scared of Love
by
Laura Beth Leither
I've never been good at this
Relationships I mean
Soon after the first kiss
I back away as you have seen
I'm scared of moving fast
I'm scared of letting go
They never seem to last
Because I end it like a pro
I can see right through me
Everytime I try to start
I feel it's not meant to be
And break yet another sweet heart
Knowing what's to come
Hurt's my heart so
To know they'll be crushed
When I let them go
It doesn't make much sense
Believe me I know
I always get tense
Telling them so
But what to do
It's beyond me
So I continue on through
As you'll soon see
