will say it
because of some
stupid little fear
that the other
won't agree,
won't speak,
won't smile.
neither one
will try
just in case
the other starts
to laugh
mock
or scoff,
disgusted.
neither one
will know
if it is a smiling yes,
or a smiling no. if it is
a mutual, modest flame
growing with exaggerated fire,
or a single-sided wish
waiting for pure copper pennies.
enjoy your mysterious, questioning thoughts, the other's baiting words, and accidental coincidences caused by habitual overreading.
smile, cry, write.
become weary.
repeat.
