Difficult Questions

Some of life's simple questions go unanswered.
Only because no one knows how to ask.
For how do you ask for more than just friendship.
When it is not known what they want?

What happens if you ask them and they don't want the same?
Would the friendship be the same or would things be different?
Or what if you never ask, and therefore would never know?
Would you wonder what could have been or just let it go?

If you decide to ask,
When would the right time be?
Or in what manner should it be said?
How does one know the answers to these questions?

Is it possible that someone might know and just never told?
The answers may just rely on the people involved.
