Scared Of Falling In Love

Before we enter this relationship,
Did I already lose your love?
Before we become intimate,
Did you already meet someone new?

Each time I want to fall in love again,
Something wrong is bound to happen.
I was ready to make you mine, but
Someone stole your heart from my grasp.

Am I doing something wrong with you?
I took caution so I don’t lose you.
Am I finding the wrong type of people?
I chose you because I trusted you.

I just want to be careful with myself.
I don’t want my heart to shatter again.
Your feelings keep changing like the seasons—
How do I know they won’t fly away?

I need to get over this fear of losing you.
These situations keep happening because
I didn’t have the courage to tell you how I feel.
I’m losing sleep over what could have been.

Am I doing you wrong, or
Is it the other way around?
