I fear you wont accept me

When I walk with her, everything is perfect. I love her more than anything.
Everything's great, my friends support me.

But my best friend doesn't know;
My own mother doesn't know
that i'm bi.

I fear she won't accept me.

I feel your pain. My parents found out I was gay when I was 15. I didn't have the strength to tell them that I am not gay, but Bi. I finally had the courage to tell them when I was 24. Felt like coming out all over again, I could hardly breath.
It's hard, I know how hard it is. I won't sugar-coat things by saying it will be fine, because it isn't always fine. Some people just can't accept it and we have to learn to live with that. My advice would be to start out slowly. When walking with them and you see a beautiful woman (I'm assuming you are female) check them out subtly, but enough that whoever you are with notices. I know it sounds stupid, but it helps if you make them think that they are the ones coming to the realization rather than you telling them. It gives them time to think it through and how they should react if and when you choose to tell them.
More than anything, I wish you all the best in this, one of the hardest (but possibly most rewarding) things you will ever do! - Love, M.
