He's Scared

He can't wait to see her
To meet, to be with her
To watch her as she smiles at him
He's scared

He wants to look into her eyes
To hear her whisper "I love you"
He's scared

He wants to hold her, to stroke her
He wants to feel her wrap her arms around him
To give him all her love
He needs that
He's scared

He wants to fall asleep holding her tight
And wake up that way too
He's scared

He wants to care for her and show her passion
He wants to show her that
And he needs it in return
He's scared

He wants to be in love
He wants her to feel the same
He's scared

He wants her to give him all her trust
And he wants to trust her too
He needs that
He's scared

He was hurt once, he really wants to try
He wants to wipe away the old memories
And the things that made him cry
He's scared

He needed her love but he wouldn't let it be
It was unconditional love but he just couldn't see
And so he backed away from her
He's scared

But she wants him to know that it was true and real
All he had to do is let himself feel
She cared...
