WHAT IFs

What if I just showed up at your door?

Heart on my sleeve, pride crouched down to the floor

Hope in each knock and when you opened up, your dreams in my eyes were all you saw

Plus just a few more and I could ever so clearly see mine in yours

What if words needn’t be spoken so the silence needn’t be broken?

Our lips shut closed but our hearts remain widely open

What if you grazed my hand as a token of emotion?

Of this heartbreaking separation we’d been forcibly soaked in

What if you managed my name in a soft tender whisper?

And yours escaped mine innocently like a kitten’s purr

What then would you prefer when feelings begin to naturally stir?

That I leave or come back to love, much deeper than we ever were?

My request is simple;

Be mine while I be yours, let us be a happy people.

What if we gained some closure to this our rollercoaster?

Then towards you I took the first step closer?

What if my every word got transferred through the passion that we weigh?

And all you heard without a doubt was what I couldn’t say?

What if our feet should meet somewhere in the middle

And the rest of us would greet prior our familiar cradle

If the sigh we exclaim should relieve pressures in my brain

Would it be so insane if the pleasure we gained would forever remain?

What if God himself should come down to bless our union?

And restored the faith of an aching man and woman.

I’ll lend more than my hand just so you comprehend the extent of this love I have for you

That it not be abused or misconstrued because I choose to lay it all down for you

See, our idea of love and love’s ideas may sometimes vary

But we’ve engaged them so surely at some point the two must marry

What if these whats ifs were the first move to a second chance

Would you walk away or shall we dance?
