Is there anything more painful than learning that  the love you have searched for all your life is standing in front of you...all he needs to do is reach out...take it..he wants it, needs it, longs for it...but is so afraid...fears so intensely...that his fears win and he turns away. Afraid of being vulnerable. Afraid that the one who would never hurt him will hurt him? How would you ever know why you were born..your reason for living... if you were always too afraid to love?
