Maybe
So maybe it was not what she wanted to hear.
So maybe 'maybe' is not the right word.
Maybe the correct choice would be something with more strength.
Maybe 'definitely.'
Maybe hearing two words, instead of three or four, leave his lips was not at all what she had expected.
And maybe she had just been getting her hopes up.
Maybe she should have expected this.
Maybe he did not feel it, too.
Maybe it was just a game to him.
Maybe he had just won.
Maybe she had just let him.
Maybe it was just like she had always thought.
But maybe when he said "I know," it was not to make her feel silly for falling.
Maybe she knew, somewhere, deep down, that 'I know' had a deeper meaning.
Maybe it had been meant to mean the words she so desperately wanted to hear escape his lips.
Maybe, just maybe, she could admit to herself that maybe he had been telling her something else.
Maybe that something was that he did love her.
Maybe that was just part of his charm.
And maybe she wanted to feel more sure of his feelings.
Maybe that was wrong.
Maybe it was not.
And maybe she would never find out.
And maybe she would.
And maybe she just did not care anymore what was right and what was wrong.
Maybe she realized there was only one thing left to do.
Maybe she should consider herself lucky that what she had to do was exactly what she wanted to do.
Maybe this horrible nightmare could have a happy ending.
Maybe things would work out.
Or maybe not.
Maybe she had been through worse experiences.
But, maybe, she decided, day dreaming would not solve anything.
Maybe she should return her thoughts to what she was doing.
Maybe what she was doing was finally important.
Maybe they had finally found him.
Maybe she would soon see him.
And maybe, just maybe, the two of them would live happily ever after.
Maybe.
