Perhaps

perhaps the sky’s hiding things we’ll never know
stars and secrets, small lights that glow
maybe it doesn’t care, 
perhaps it’s just stubborn 
or maybe its not fair 

love hits strange when no one is near
like notes unsent, like whispers you hear
I scribble your name in crooked lines
half rhymes, half guesses, slipping through time

perhaps I’m meant to stumble and tease
to trip on my words but still say what I please
truth don’t stab, it drifts, it delays
shows up late in cold, lonely ways

perhaps you were mine, maybe not at all
a trick memory plays, a shadow on the wall
perhaps is a door that never shuts tight
leaking light, keeping awake in the night

and perhaps…..
that’s where you’ll stay
not gone, not here
just living in the world of maybe
