What is my greatest fear about love

To sit together and not talk

To talk and not communicate

To communicate and not understand

To understand without awareness

To be aware from a parallax view

To view only through our own eyes

To see and not believe our hearts

To love and not to trust

It is proximity without closeness

It is greatest pain we can feel

Why is it that love 

Blinds us in so many way

And binds us for so many days
