Unassuming



After a while, it becomes apparent

Things are lost, and then we daren't

Say anything that changes the tune

Of the melody humming so soon



So we go on quietly about our lives

Sorting thru feelings, to learn why

It is, we've yet again found and lost

Love, in all its splendor, now tossed



Communication lacked 'cause of stress

And then things fell apart - a tough test

But there was something there, and assumed

Before other things coming into play loomed



So now I shall never again make assumptions

Love exists, for that takes too much gumption

So I will let my assumptions ride on out door

And then mistakes cannot be repeated anymore
