Untitled 8/31/16

If I say how I feel

we may go from nothing but friends

to more than,

or to a little more than

nothing.

If I speak up

our forged memories could fade,

or we will create new memories

that will never fade.

If only I say how I feel

we could move from this place of ambiguity,

but fear freezes my feelings forever:

my fear for following a flowing heart.

If you only say how you feel

and stop stating we are nothing

we may move from walking side by side

to hand in hand.

But you lie to yourself;

lie to me,

but we never lie together.

Keeping how we feel unsaid

keeps us from enjoying life's journey together;

keeps me instead dreading the journey apart.
