fear knot

"why don't you tell me you love me" she requested.
while turning onto her belly, head in hands.
squinting due to the sun. he musters
"because i fear"
tilting her head perplexed.
"confused? however so."
with a heavy set sigh he sputters
"baby you know how i feel"
bending her legs up kicking them to and fro.
he sits up leaning back up against the tree.
brushing his hair from face.
"I fear we may go down a path we cannot turn back from."
he looking off into the distance.
the girl then replying with a smile.
all thats left is the silhouette
of the couple falling into each-others arms,
as the setting sun collapses into the eve.
