Falling Free

My heart was locked, a fortress strong

Until your love came and it didn't go wrong

With every step, it grew, a flame so bright

Though you said no to love's sweet fire 

My heart still beats with love's desire

The risk of heartache, the fear of unknown 

Makes me quiver, like a leaf in a wild reverie 

But by your gentle touch and loving gaze 

Melts, my fears away, like morning haze

The thought of falling in love

Frightens me, yet sets my soul free

The fright of love grips me tight

Yet I'll face the fear for the beauty in sight, 

My heart trembles, 

As I surrender
