MAYBE

Maybe I’m mistaken but I think.she cares?

Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me?

Maybe I’m deluded?

Well maybe, but I don’t think so

 

Maybe I’m mistaken but I think.she’s still hurting?

Maybe my mind is working overtime?

Well perhaps, but I don’t think so

Maybe I am definitely deluded?

Well maybe I am, as I do feel old at times

 

Maybe there’s no maybe about it?

She does care, she’s is still hurting?

Maybe she actually likes me?

Fond of me even, in some sort of way?

 

Perhaps I should try and ask her how she feels?

But maybe I shouldn’t?

Is it worth risking our friendship?

Maybe it’s a definite maybe?

 

The truth is I actually care, or maybe I don’t?

No, I definitely do, but it’s an unusually difficult

situation, friendships can actually be cruel

She is a beautiful person, strong, resilient

laughs a lot, a smile to die for, very creative

 

Maybe, just maybe this will grow stronger?

A bond even? Maybe it will, maybe it won’t?

Maybe circumstances will turn these maybe’s

into something definite?

Maybe I’d better stop writing this now?

Self-doubt can be a powerful enemy, as I know to my cost.
I wish you courage!
