Ever been scared to open your heart,
To leap into that unknown place,
Not sure to give your love away,
To look in the mirror, a doubt on your face.

Ever been addicted to a fainthearted man,
To give your all with feelings of hope,
Not ready to lose what you desperately need,
To stay despite not being able to cope.

Ever been hurt so badly your soul is scarred,
To promise there won’t be a time again,
Not ever to give yourself to another,
To lock your heart away from all men.

Just take a moment to think again,
Don’t give up on love in despair,
Just take a moment to open your heart,
Don’t be afraid to just dare.

I’ve learned there are men who are true to their word,
That give without taking a part,
Whose hearts are much bigger than life itself,
Who will love you and guide you and stay in your heart.

I’ve learnt there is someone for me, I hope,
That man who is willing to stay,
Whose patience and strength will build me back up,
Who will be the one to not stray.

I’ve learned there is beauty in his simple touch,
That the words that he says have true meaning,
Whose friendship is valued above all else,
Who will sadly never know my true feelings.

So just take a moment to think again,
Don’t give up on love in despair,
Just take a moment to open your heart,
Don’t be afraid to just dare.
