Original Submission by Shreyash Wankhade

Fear of The Love

Since the time I saw you

I have been thinking of you, Your laughter, like whisper,

That makes my day feel brighter.

My words get tangled to talk to you,

I make myself bold to talk to you,

But each time my heart get cold in front for you.

Ohh, I wish if could find the words to say,

I'm worried if you'd smile or turn away. I'm the perfect man you'd love,

But I just have the fear of the love.

From deep of my heart I wanna share,

The secret prayer I'm longing to say.

I like you, I love you,

But I know that you don't wanna listen to this at the moment,

Because you don't know much about me yet.

It is not an excuse but, I just have the fear of the love.

I look you everytime in my every dream,

But deep inside, I'm lost in over thinking,

What if you don't feel the same way i do?

What if my heart breaks as I reach for you?

Ohh, I wish if could find the words to say, I'm worried if you'd smile or turn away. I'm the strong man that man that you'd love, But I just have the fear of the love.

From deep of my heart I want to share, The secret prayer I'm longing to say.

I like you, I love you,

But I know that you don't wanna listen to this at the moment,

Because you don't know much about me yet.

It is not an excuse but, I just have the fear of the love.

But there's still hope in my heart,

Where I think I can break the chains,

And with you i can dance.

Oh I'm gonna Rish it all,

I'm not gonna speak sentence that's small,

But to ask you out, I'm gonna take my chance.

Ohh, I wish if could find the words to say, I'm worried if you'd smile or turn away. I'm the strong man that man that you'd love, But I just have the fear of the love.

From depth of my heart I want to share,

The secret prayer I'm longing to say.

I like you, I love you,

But I know that you don't wanna listen to this at the moment,

Because you don't know much about me yet.

It is not an excuse but, I just have the fear of the love.
