I would like to love you

And not be so afraid to lose you

I would like to love me and know that you will choose me

Without standing on my head

I would like to be the one

Who wants to be with me

I would like to be afraid

That I might not choose me

That would be such a loss.

I would like to be the one who trusts enough

To breathe freedom into both of us.

I think that’s where love is.
