If


If I asked you a question,

            would you always tell me the truth?

If I told you to run,

would you never look back?

If I held you up,

            would you trust me enough?

If I kept you close,

            would you pull away?

If I grew up,

            would you be proud?

If things were different,

            would we be here now?

If I hated you,

            would you hate me too?

If I stopped wondering,

            would we ever figure it out?

If I gave you love,

            would you want to stick around?

 

I’m afraid of possibilities

I fear the unknown

The only I do know is

If
