PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am afraid

To get close

To let you know what has happened



I am afraid to learn what your favorite color is

To know what kind of foods you like

I am afraid to know if you collect anything

And to know your shoe size



I am afraid of remembering your birthday

And showing you all the love poems I write you

I am afraid of letting you get too close



I am afraid of making memories

I am afraid of moments



And I am afraid of your hands and your eyes



I love you and I want to grow old with you

But I am afraid



I am afraid of getting attached

I am afraid of making plans

And I am afraid of the future



I am so afraid of all these things

Because ten years down the road I don’t want to not be with you

And see something that reminds me of you

And know I was so afraid that I lost the one person that honestly didn’t make me afraid
