Cautious optimism

It’s being told about stars

You can’t see

Yet

And having a book taken away

Before you can finish

And then having the middle spoiled

But not the end.


It’s smiling into the sunshine

While not knowing if it’s going to be okay.


It’s not wanting to let you go

When I hug you

And hoping it’ll be okay

Because I have to

Let you

Be


Even if I can’t

Let you go

I might have to do that too.
