sweethearts

the pink, pervasive picture of
a Heart spelling out TRUE LOVE
sits printed on the box below
the Sweethearts lovely logo.

the box, given days ago,
meant to be an outward show
of something he could not say,
or I didn't hear any way.

maybe he really was right this time,
and I should have given him earlier rhyme.
perhaps I judged too quickly or soon
by making him leave me in my cocoon.

so now the relic, untouched remains
until I find the wait in vain,
and devour the sweets, with their loving words,
which still, and forever will be, unheard.
