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 @katladyt_t February 11, 2022
