Thirty minutes more for us
to stare at each other in awkward
..... silence.
Â
Thirty minutes for you not to Â
tell me that you love me,
but feel it anyway.
Â
Thirty minutes for me to be too unsure
to ask you to stay with me tonight,
but truly need you, regardless.
Â
For half an hour - Â
your facade in place
and my heart shielded - Â
you stay strong and
.... silent
no slip of the tongue confessions,
I Love You...
Â
I wonder what an hour would bring...
