The Fear of Believing
There were those
That said "I miss you"
And meant it
Fear is a powerful method
That can divert
Any kindness and hope
Into a nightmare for all
Never believing them
Always wondering about the truth
Thinking how can someone mean those words
Never acting on those terms
Making it harder to trust it
And later to hate them being said
Then comes a day
When you question
Why did you just assume the worst?
But better yet
How can you hope for the best?
