Questions in the Dark

Oh the things love does not say.
If it will come home
How long it will be gone
How short tempered it will be when it returns
What it has been doing
Where it has been
If it has been in the dark
If it has been cold or hungry...

Does it want me?
I feel what it is,
Yet have I seen its face?

Is it fearless?
Does it watch me with countless nights of ice cream...

It does not even say goodbye.

What do I say?
