He fears to love me now
He dissects his logic but to me it’s plain excuses
I should let him be, let him do as he chooses
Maybe I will let him be, if he loses… he loses
So it is what it is, and what it is as he would have it, it seems, is deuces
He fears to love me now, but time waits not rewinds not
He fears to love me now, though I wonder why not
He fears to love me now, though his heart says he ought
He fears to love me now, it must be because his emotions impair
He fears to love me now, I can’t help but contrast and compare
Unable to seize this treasure, yet forever yearning for its addictive pleasure
Best not drink of his empty cup as it pours not in me love to fill me now
Perhaps I should embrace the others since he FEARS to love
ME
now...
