TOO AFRAID

I'm too afraid to look
    . . . You might not be there long
I'm too afraid to speak
    . . . The words might come out wrong 
I'm too afraid to touch
    . . . I don't want to break you
I'm too afraid to hold you
    . . . I don't want to get too close 
I'm too afraid to love you
    . . . You might not care
I'm too afraid to need you
    . . . You might not be there when I do 
I'm too afraid I'll lose you
    . . . It's happened before
I'm too afraid of you
    . . . Because you scare me 
        . . . More than I do
