Without Fear and Love

Question: What would you do in your life if you weren't afraid?

I would love someone.

I would give my heart away, I would stop holding it so close to me. I would not be afraid to be who I truly am, when meeting someone whom I could care for- I would stop adapting and mirroring and changing. I would tell him the truth, I would be the person I am around the people I love the most. I would act without pretense.

Most of all, if I saw his empty hand, and the urge came, I would hold it in my own, let our fingers intertwine, each worn palm silently meshing together. I wouldn't let that moment pass me by, like so many other times before. I wouldn't swallow the urge, I wouldn't put my hands in my pocket and think about it for fifteen minutes before realizing it wasn't going to happen. I would act upon impulses, unafraid of what another would think of me.

I would give of myself, knowing that it was a gift to be accepted by the right person.

I already tell people how I feel- knowing the risk involved is always worth the knowledge that I did what I could. My problem now is that once that has happened, I stop expressing myself. I stop making the choices, I stop dictating the pace, I stop knowing what I want. If I wasn't afraid, I would verbalize what I wanted. I would tell the truth. I would know that a true relationship is between two individuals- not one controlling, pacing choosing partner, and one along for the ride.

I would love someone.
