Maybe Love

My Love

My love spoke to me today
His words were kind and
Played upon my feelings
He sounded hesitant, unsure and
So vulnerable to me
Not at all the "together man"
The "powerful man" the
Master of his fate

I felt I should not doubt him
To doubt his love for me
How can we know if what
We have is real
Is pretend or just plain need

To escape our mutual loneliness
We search for mutual love
Amidst the worlds great distractions
We quiet ourselves

We explore each other
Within, without
In silence, in laughter
In private contemplation

Words unspoken, thoughts unfelt
We care - of that I'm sure
We share - of that I hope

A brief affair, an eternal romance
Enduring love or friendship

Who knows - we dare to try
