When Love Is Not

When love is not A man meets a woman And thinks she loves him in return The kissing the hand holding is the same but something, something is wrong after making love, she turns her back away from him, not speaking. He fell sadness and emptiness after the tryst that ends in silence. Something, something is wrong He knows that in his heart He waits for an email or a phone That she has met someone else and When the call comes will no shatter Him, blaming himself for confronting Her asking what was wrong.

Hi Jan great topic to share. This happens to many when only 1 has the love. Someone always gets hurt. Thanks for sharing this
