He’s never said he loves me
but he still draws me in
like a moth to the flame,
irresistible attraction
courses through my veins.
Days, often weeks, can pass
without any reassurances
that we are friends.
But just one word leaves
me helpless again,
listening to voices of warning
in my head, but ignoring them.
Giving myself up to the question
what if?
