Face Value

Don't read more than whats written
because miscues will lead you astray
false hope given with subtle gestures
will have you in a place of dismay

Don't assume whats not stated
for intent is hardly ever clear
as we tend to Waltz on the borderline
of friendship and intimate fears

Give what you want to receive
and expect just that in return
but if you fail to don't be surprised
if you find yourself lover scorned
