Fear of Love

You're afraid of getting hurt.
I'm afraid to hurt others.
There's a reason people like us stay single.

But love is the one emotion that we have no control over.
Love has no guarantees.

But you demand certainty.
You want a promise that I cannot give
because I don't know if I can keep.

You refuse to budge until you're sure
and then you want to leap
praying that I'll catch you.

I prefer to take little steps
with one foot out the door
in case you try to hurt me first.

We're both so wrong.
