I'm afraid to speak,
therefore, I'll listen to you.
I'm afraid of rejection
therefore, I'll please you.
I'm afraid to weep
therefore, I'll comfort you.
I'm afraid of loneliness
therefore, I'll embrace you.
I'm afraid of my actions
therefore, I'll understand you.
I'm afraid to let you love me
therefore, I'll mourn.
