Never let your fear decide your fate. - AWOLNATION

When your eyes first meet,
When your heart begins to race,
When you feel safe, secure,
When there's no were else you'd rather be,
When everything has fallen into place,
When the doubts creep in,
Like a torrent no dam can stop,
When you persevere,
When you overcome,
That is when you have loved,
And when you have loved
Is when you have lived

I hope a lot of teens can relate to this piece that can be applied to relationships with friends or something more. It was inspired by trust issues I had and attempting to overcome them.
