everyone has fears
even me
when I first meet you
i thought you didn't have any fears
it seemed impossible for a boy like you
to have fears
one day we sat under your
magnolia tree
in the wind while it was a
hot summer day
the petals from the flowers
were falling down on our heads
we held hands
we just sat in silence until i broke it
i asked what your fears were
you looked at me strangely but you answered
you looked at me straight in the eye and said
'Elizabeth, everyone has fears some people
just decide not to show them to others'
it looked like you were thinking for a moment
but then you rambled on
'failure
tigers
growing up
parents
never being good enough for you'
i brought his hand to my mouth
and kissed his knuckles
'i think it's the other way around'
then we kissed under you
magnolia tree with
pink petals in our hair
