Please Don't Say You Love Me (On Hold)

your name shall be

In the distance Sae sat in her wagon with the baby in her arms.

"Your name shall be Katniss. And I will raise you as my own child.", she whispered to the sleeping baby.

And that's what she did. Katniss grew, as did her hair. Down to the back of her knees it grew by the time she was eleven.

She sings on the wagon, while brushing her long brown hair.

"Just please don't say you love me
Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping
When you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when
You see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
Cause I might not say it back"

As she braids her hair she wonders what do these words mean.

"Katniss!", her mother comes to her.

"Stay in the wagon. Please while I go into town.", her mother said to her.

"Please? May I go with you?", Katniss begged.

"No. The world is dark and cruel. You must stay here.", Sae sternly said to Katniss.

"Yes, mother", Katniss bowed her head, disappointed.
