I Dare You

We’re walking a line
You and I
Taking our time
Making sure this is right

But, I have an idea
One that I feel
Will help us to know
Is this the real deal

I dare you to take
my hand in yours
As we walk forward
into the unknown

For, with me here
There’s no reason to fear
I’ll protect you with all my might

I dare you to tell
yourself it’s okay
To open your heart
and love once again

For, without love
We cannot live
Our lives out to the fullest

I dare you to give me
the chance to be
The most incredible man
I could possibly be

For, with you by my side
There’s no reason to hide
From faded scars and memories

And this is the last
But most important part:
I dare you to trust me
With your heart
