Not A Maybe
Not a Maybe
No one deserves to sit in the quiet
between almost and always.
To reread messages
searching for certainty
hidden between short replies.
Love shouldn’t feel like
waiting by a door
that never fully opens —
just enough light
to keep hope alive.
No one deserves to wonder
if they are temporary,
a placeholder heart
until something better walks in.
You are not a question mark.
Not a late-night option.
Not someone chosen
only when loneliness gets loud.
Love should say yes
without hesitation,
should reach for you
in daylight
and not just when the world feels empty.
Because the right love
doesn’t keep you guessing —
it stays,
it chooses,
it knows.
And anyone who makes you a maybe
was never ready
for someone worth a forever.
