Have respite to sustain.

A woman may love you so much
but is not cheap to display it as such.
She may fear harbouring your photo
but might have secured your group photo.
She may fear inviting you home
but might have seen you in some gatherings.
She may destroy all your scribbles
but might have held journals containing some.
She may have anguish to see you
but might have been blatant to show you.
It is true that she fell in love
and by truce hold it hand in glove.
She has equal and opposite
reaction to your action. Have respite.
