Connecting The Dots

For the third time
in our year-long bond,
I sense a third person
may have come between us,
entering your life once more
in the form of a crush.

You provide signs and
sufficient online evidence
that trigger overthinking.
When I know your words
scarcely align with actions,
it’s easy to connect the dots
between what you lead me
to believe what you hide and
what I observe you do.

You never hesitate
to follow your heart,
doing things I dislike
as I wait for your word,
days, weeks, and months.
Twice you’ve done it,
and you’ll do it
a hundred times more.

The way you evade questions
and conclude conversations
affirms what you lead me to believe.
In true love, even the universe
aligns with those of good intentions,
revealing reality,
even if it’s bitter to absorb.

I might be wrong,
yet I also know,
you won’t correct me.
