Maybe it was the noise
of the honking fears inside me,
or maybe it was the clink and clanks
of the battling mind and heart inside you.
Maybe I was ready to be brave,
just in time when you surrendered to be afraid,
and these maybes were too loud
enough to create a strong storm out of
our mismatch love.

I’m reading this poem and I’m thinking “the maybes are loud enough to disrupt any relationship”. Well done Rosema 👌🏽👌🏽
