Love Poem: Perhaps.....................

Perhaps.....................

If it remains unspoken perhaps 
we can pretend it doesn't exist? 

If it remains in a dream perhaps 
we can never shut our eyes to sleep. 

If we ignore it, perhaps it will melt away, 
and nestle in the crevices of memory 

until life has moved us on and 
it is safe to acknowledge its presence. 

If we avoid 'aloneness' and dwell 
in a world of diversion and shallow 

conversation, perhaps we may never 
need to speak the truth. 

If I don't touch you, 
perhaps you'll never feel 

how you touch me, here, in my heart. 
Perhaps its best to stay apart......
