love me

today a man told me he loved me. we were passing on the sidewalk down a dirty street covered in snow. in his eyes, i could see that maybe he did love me, despite our fleeting stares and empty exchange.


today a man told me he can't love me. we had talked all night and known each other for hundreds of days. in his eyes, i could see that maybe he couldn't love me, despite our beating pulses and caring words.
