Anticipation Couples Fear

Help me take chances.
We're going down a road I
may be afraid of...
I believe in you.
What about yourself?
You can't see past your mirror
to your reflection in my eyes.
So long the worlds been shades of grey.
So long I have been turning on my own
and turning into the darker roads.
Let me feel again, but with you.
Pull me close and keep me safe.
Get to me.
Break down all of these walls
and pull me by the collar
out of the self-established prison.
Look me in the eye and tell me
that I can do better for myself.
Look me square in the face
and tell me you aren't leaving.
The summer was colder
than any before it.
I never have told you.
I never want to tell you.
But time unfolds all honesty.
You claim you'll still see that fire.
Still like what you see
even if I keep unfolding.
But once it gets down to the beginning
and there's nothing left to reveal
where will you be?
Will you be standing here
right next to my side?
Or running in the opposite direction?
I need to know.
My head is spinning.
I think I'm falling again and
I just want to know
if you'll catch me.
