A LOVE HATE THING

I'm not entirely sure i remember
what it feels like to love a person.
I've been there before,
Truly i have.
But its been so long,
So long since I let my heart feel emotions
It was always just easier to live without them
until you showed up.
And in a short time i began to feel
and hope
and dream.

It's a special feeling
And it's scary too.
Its like deciding to hand over the keys of your 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra to a learner
Not much of a car person but i can relate.
Now i fight a war between my fears and emotions
Do i give in or do i float away?

I want to feel
I want to be held
I want to be loved
And I hate that my heart is caught up in this dilemma

Time they say makes things clearer.
Maybe it does, maybe it doesnt
If you walk away I'd never know.
But i can't hold you down
I can't leave you uncertain.
Maybe someday, I'd get to feel again
Or maybe i won't.
