Hope lingers on

The word maybe is like a drug To me

Hope and despair all rolled into one.

How can such a simple word cause so much emotion?

When I hear Maybe I know that something good might happen, Something that I’ve been wanting.

Will he call me? Maybe. If I play this lottery ticket, will I win? Maybe. Will you be at the party? Maybe. If I ask for a raise, will I get it? Maybe.

Hope lingers on until I realize that Maybe Was just that Maybe.

He didn’t call I didn’t win the lottery You weren’t at the party The raise never happened

Maybe is a very thin dangerous line between hope and disappointment.

However,

It is a word so easily thrown around that Maybe You aren’t even aware how often you say it.
