There was once a boy and he loved me
And he tried to teach me about love
I was so scared though
That I ran away as far as I could
Without a sound
Because loving someone that loved me
Was far too risky
Than the safety of falling for something that was easy
Or unattainable
Loving and being loved
Has been my greatest fear of all
A song came on today that brought me to you
Right back where I remember
A brief time in your arms
And today I learnt of love more
Through poem
How love is love itself
Loving you
Loving me
Was never a choice
You see
It’s always been bigger than us
I swear it
If I could have sworn off love forever I would have
Because it hurts too deep
And it scars too easy
But now I see
That without the thorns
There is no rose
And without pain
There is no love
