Something New

Something new is always exciting

But how do you know when it's real?

When it's okay to give your heart away?

Defenses monopolize emotions

Comfort zones don't allow any risks

It's easier to keep at a distance

Wondering if he could possibly be the one

Too drained to even try and find out

Panic setting in because maybe, just maybe

He is where the rest of your life begins

Knowing every bit of yourself you hold onto

You are keeping away from him

Feeling an irresistable tug at your heart

Turning your back when things get too close

Afraid to give in but terrified to give up

Hoping he is patient and understanding

Praying he won't give up in you

That he'll see something worth waiting for

And that every moment he spends convincing you to believe in him

Will equally convince him to believe in you
