Our gaze locked
And we both saw it
This thing between us
Months of talking and going on dates
Months of FaceTime and staying up late
Months of kissing
Lots of kissing
We looked separate ways
Cos we both saw it
This thing within us
Months of stripping away at our armour
Months of cuddling away our defences
Lots of defences
We let out a sigh
Cos we both felt it
This thing around us
Months of thinking of this moment
Months of talking of this moment
Lots of moments
This thing between us
This thing within us
This thing around us
Love
And Fear
Cold, frigid Fear, the last Defence
Protecting our trust. Protecting us.
To love again, we must
Let go of our fear
To love again means
Our hearts will break again
And that is what we
Fear
