day by day

apprehension swelled within me
until i contemplated running,
far away from this opportunity,
from the chance to fall in love - again.

the sting from past relationships
was all too raw on my heart,
which yearned to heal with time,
but also give love another chance.

i regret the impending trepidations
i will subject my lover to,
knowing full well it is not their fault,
their only crime being falling for me.

deep down i pray they stay,
are patient enough to wait for me,
to one day unfasten the latch on my heart,
heretofore impeding unconditional love.
