"Maybe?" He Says

"Maybe?" He Says

I ask "Did you ever love me?"
His reply "I don't know maybe?"
I asked "What chance is there for us to be?"
He said " Either way we are friends believe me."
Never a straight answer when it comes to the hard stuff
Always open ended maybe, possibly, if enough.
And when I get the courage to ask you out
"I'm busy, it's complicated" you shout
Yes so we can be together or no so I'll stop chasing a dream
I need to know if we will ever be a team
Undecided, undetermined, unwilling?
Anyway you put it "Maybe" is unfulfilling.

Who hasn't felt this? I really like the wording!

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
