please believe in love,
but have the respect to not
speak of it lightly

I’ve been one to keep
wanting and waiting for things
just beyond my reach.

maybe I just need
someone who can lie to me
more convincingly

resist the contempt
bred by familiarity;
just appreciate.

where hope’s fallen through
are some of the best reasons
for starting anew.
