three

after a few months

he confessed his feelings

she didn't know how to feel

so she left it alone

a few days later

she responded

asking for some time

to sort things out

he allowed her the time

although it was kind of hard

having to talk

with no definitive answer

he didnt mind

he let her take her time

because this decision

was important

she wanted to make sure this was right

that she was certain

so she didn't

burden him
