.. that thing called LOVE

i promise not to love again
and to never feel the bitterness and pain
the sleepless night that drives me insane
with emptiness and loneliness
as not to shed another tear
as of this time.... to love again is now my fear

i'm afraid to love
i'm afraid to cry
i'm afraid that sooner or later
the feeling would die
i'm afraid to get hurt
i'm afraid to exert
all the efforts wasted like dirt
i'm afraid to fall.... im afraid of giving it all
'cause what is love when you hold something back
'cause loving is a gamble
'cause love needs luck
