Because I’m prideful I’m afraid to say I love you 
For letting down my guard would give you more access to explore me
It’s safe when only I know how I feel
You're going to end up hurting me because you're not ready 
And I don’t want to stop my heart from falling for you 
This feeling is unsteady 
If I can just control the beats and let it skip to the part where you love me too
Emotional roller coaster but I’m the only one with the highs and lows 
And the unexpected turns 
But it’s my turn to show you a genuine connection 
When the time is right
I’m going to be the woman that you needed years ago 
Because I’m currently experiencing the greatest love story of my life
I’m falling back in love with myself 
And by doing so I found love I know how to love and receive love in the most abundant way possible
