Teach Me How To Love

Lord ...
You know I'm afraid of love
I am afraid to give myself completely to others
I am afraid to love
I'm afraid to have to give something
I don't like to sacrifice for love

secretly afraid of infiltrating me
and immobilize me
I got scared and worried
I'm afraid I'll be hurt later
I'm afraid I lose face

Lord ...
I know love will help me
cross and exceed my limits and limitations
where I was so shackled for so long
but the light of love still confuses me
and I slumped back in my darkness

Lord ...
how can I understand love
if it turns out it's difficult for me
to love others around me
I have learned to climb mountains
I have learned to fly to the moon
but when I'll learn to love
may You immediately
teach me how to love
