How do I know?

Truth or dare

how do I know you like me?

Question and answer

I am sure you already know

so I smile naively.

Serious though

pensive

cannot figure out

what I see

what I want

when I have no need.

I said adios

to my lovers of the past

telling all

that it would be unfair.

Unfair of me to continue

to reach out

kept in the wings

as if already admitting defeat.

There is one way

that will tell you

exactly how I feel…..

I cleaned my car

vacuumed

dust wiped

all in case

you might see the inside.
