Someone I know recently accused me of being afraid of love. I scoffed: me? A consummate flirt, a serial monogamist, afraid of love? How ridiculous.
But he's right. I am. Scared to death.
Love is like dynamite, or that highly explosive clear liquid in a bottle they tote around in action films (what's it called?). It's hard to handle, hard to control, easy to underestimate.
Wars are fought over it. Suicides and murders often have it at their core. It is the stuff of life, for heaven's sake.
Anyone who is not scared of it is not seeing the big picture!
Another Song about the Rain
Cracker, 1995, from the album Greenland
Wind of fate has pried us loose
 Light of mercy hurts my eyes
 Is it worth the things you lose
 To board the train and watch the sky?
 I sing myself to sleep at night
 I sing myself to sleep
 Another song about the rain
 Coming down, it burns through me
 Another song about the rain
 Got a line straight from my heart
 There was a time, it ran to you
 Another place where we were smart
 Before the flood and time was through
 I sing myself to sleep at night
 I sing myself to sleep
 Another song about the rain
 Coming down it burns through me
 Another song about the rain
 Sorry now I never made you see
 Sorry now sounds so far away
 Will our child cry for me
 When he hears the dragon's flame?
 Highway flares  make red the streets
 My fingers spin the dial again
 But every station on to me, yeah
 Another song about the rain
 Another song about the rain
 
 Never rained so viciously

you and me both. i'll join you on that one. I have been with my husband for ten years now (married for 4) and I still can't give myself up completely. It's about being able to trust someone else with yourself and your feelings, it's very hard. But i'm learning as i go along, and i am lucky enough to have a very patient, very understanding, loving partner.
take care!
Sounds like you hit the jackpot, CeCe.
