A conversation looms, like a stormy sea
A talk that could shatter, the love that's meant to be
Fear grips the heart, like a vice so tight
The risk of ruin, a daunting, endless night

The words that must be spoken, a heavy burden to bear
A truth that could sever, the bond that's shared
The fear of losing, the love that's real
A terror that paralyzes, and makes the heart conceal

The what-ifs swirl, like a maelstrom in the mind
What if the words, cut too deep, and leave scars that won't unwind?
What if the truth, is more than love can bear?
What if the talk, is the end, and not a repair?

But still, the heart knows, that silence won't suffice
That the weight of unspoken words, will eventually entice
A reckoning, a confrontation, a moment of truth
A choice between the comfort, of ignorance, and the pain of youth

So take a breath, and let the words unfold
A fragile, faltering, but necessary step to mold
The future of love, in the fire of honest talk
A risk that's worth taking, for a love that's worth the walk.
