Between Lines of Ink

Your words lie out in front of me, drawn across pages in between lines of ink. The sentiment expressed is one of hope and Love, yet the actions expressed thereafter are of apathy and indecision. The strings holding this heart together are sown by every one of your strokes of pen. But they are consequently severed by days of noncommunication and my own doubt.
