When

You don’t know.

You do know.

But you can’t know for sure.

You don’t want to make assumptions. But you kinda been down this road a hundred times.

You don’t know. But you do.

But you hold onto the idea that you might not know. You hope. You pray to nongods and reality, “Please let this be. Please let this be what I hope it will be.”

You hope. You fear. But you hope.
