I confess
I'm still afraid,
so afraid
I'll burn you severely
'cause I'm standing
on the embers
of my what ifs and what nots
but I'm tired of being a flame.
Just for once,
I want to be the earth
that keeps you grounded
I want to be the water
you need to survive
I want to be the air
you breathe in
I'm sorry for being presumptuous,
this is just me,
beginning to believe
in love again.
