Undone

The tie came undone.
Hesitant, I watch for clues.
Worried. Wondering.

Will we drift apart?
Was that what kept us, well, us?
Is this over, love?

The tie came undone.
Hesitant, I watch for clues.
Pensive. Pondering.

Will we continue?
As friends, companions, partners?
Equally present?

The tie came undone.
Hesitant, I watch for clues.
Still. Surrendering.
