A fragile flame

I adore you in the quiet glow,
A warmth my heart has come to know.
Your laughter dances in my chest,
A melody that won't find rest.

Yet fear, a shadow, grips my mind,
What if we falter, fall behind?
The weight of love, a tender ache,
A leap I'm trembling to take.

For in your gaze, the world feels bright,
But doubt creeps in to steal the light.
So here I stand, a step away,
In love, yet scared to let it stay.
