Maybe I’m mistaken but I think.she cares?

Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me?

Maybe I’m deluded?

Maybe I’m scared*

Well maybe, but I don’t think so

 

Maybe I’m mistaken but maybe she’s still hurting? Maybe my mind is working overtime?

Well perhaps, but I don’t think so

Maybe I am definitely deluded?

Well maybe I am, as I do feel old at times

 

Maybe there’s no maybe about it?

She does care, she’s is still hurting?

Maybe she actually likes me?

Fond of me even, in some sort of way?

 

Perhaps I should try and ask her how she feels? But maybe I shouldn’t?

Is it worth risking our friendship? 

Maybe it’s a definite maybe?

 

The truth is I actually care, or maybe I don’t?

No, I definitely do, but it’s an unusually difficult situation, friendships can actually be cruel

She is a beautiful person, strong, resilient, laughs a lot, a smile to die for, very creative

 

Maybe, just maybe this will grow stronger?

A bond even? Maybe it will, maybe it won’t?

Maybe circumstances will turn these maybe’s

into something more definite?

Maybe I’d better stop writing this now?
