Love Lingers

You chose to retreat
And retract your feelings
Stuffing every last one in the depths of your heart

Reluctant and torn
I fought the urge to reach out
Trying to avoid the consequences of being apart 

No way they all disappeared
Those reawakened feelings so real
Had you fooled them to stay, or willed them gone for good?

Though outwardly hidden
My guess is, they'll linger
And if meant to be, time will reveal as it should
