Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
Its the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong.
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.

It's really hard to believe how much this song says about me. I heard it for the first time in a long time the other day, and I actually listened to the lyrics... Holy crap! This is how I feel almost all the time, and you know what... it only gets worse when you realize that you actually have feelings for someone.
Dang it! Ya know... for years now I've stayed away from any idea of relationships, I've been living the life of a free woman. Then, I had one of those moments of epiphany where I was like, "shit! I really do like 'him'!"
I mean, it doesn't suck... it just sucks because I'm afraid that since I told him it could ruin our friendship and work relationship... but I really hope it doesn't. God, this is so ackward! I wish I knew what the f*** t do!!!!
