Stroking Her Hair

 

When I stroke her hair
she doesn\'t say a word,
pretending she doesn\'t notice,
doesn\'t care.

I pretend I stroke them
kinda randomly,
not thinking of anything,
not feeling anything.

When I stop,
I know she craves for more,
but she won\'t tell me,
no.

And when I stop
she bets I wish I didn\'t,
but she knows well
that I won\'t admit it.
