Maybe This Time

Hovering between hope and heartbreak
I scour through your words
looking for some hint
of how the conversation is going to go
I know you love me too
But I don’t if you have the courage to be open with our love

So, I prepare myself for heartbreak
For the conversation I have had too many times

I love you but…
…but the timing is right
…but I am not ready for a relationship
…but we are just too different
…but I am not willing to fight for our love.

And yet there is still a part of me filled with hope…
…maybe this time…
