Afraid of Love

Afraid of love?
or
Afraid of hurt?

I could love.
I DO love.
But no, in essence I don't.
I don't love.
But I do.

Oh tongue twister save me.

I'm in love with the idea.
Where ever I stole it from.
The idea
Or my imagination
It doesn't relate.

Therefore, I'm afraid of love.

Approach me
And I shall turn you away
Because I am afraid
That tomorrow
When you say
"I love you."

I can only turn and walk away.
