peregrinate

Maybe, just maybe in future

We spoke for what seemed like seconds

And though I was unable to see the tragedies your heart clung onto 

I felt that your chest was laden with sorrow 

When your silence called out to me in urgency 

And for a moment

I had wanted nothing more than to fix you

To love you dishonestly 

To make you believe 

But how much more would you hate me if I stayed?

If I touched your lips with the warmth of my lies 

And how were you sure you really loved me? 

If you knew nothing of my flaws

Maybe now is not the time

But who knows 

Maybe, just maybe in future 

I will love you the way you deserve
