What if...
What if we never met?
What if your face i never beheld?
What if we never held hands and...
I never in my mouth caught your breath?
If i had never felt your embrace
If your essence i never knew the taste
If by your presence i was never graced
If your smile never caused a sweet ache
What if our worlds never collided
Our paths never crossed?
Would i have a bitter taste in my mouth
Singing songs spouting words like ‘its not for me’
Would i tell sour stories of how love got me, knocked be down and left me with a broken heart?
Would i indulge people talking about love because i know better and love doesn’t exist?
Would i fall in love everyday and when the sun sets talk about how love never lasts?
Would i have regret as my bed partner every night wishing id pulled more tricks and took more risks?
What if i never knew you or i mean i never knew love?
Would i notice the colours of flowers in bloom?
Would i sing along when i don’t know the words of the song?
Would i smile or dance or cry, would i think it matters when i did?
What if this was all there was and i was all there is
Would we look at the stars and marvel at how infinite they are,
But stay smug because we know the reasons for our love are more than that
Would we talk for hours when we had nothing to say or know the few words that need to be said when there is too much to be said
Would we remember the rainbows after rainy days or to take pictures during sunny days
Would we look at each other at our absolute worst and know deep in our hearts that nowhere in the world could there be anyone better than us
Or if we met today, tomorrow or the day after that?
Would we be have the courage do whatever it takes
Would we be brave to risk embarrassment, rejection, failure?
What if...
...so help me god...
