what if

what if I gave up the charade
told you how I really felt 
about things?

what if I said, the hell with it
and leave, chasing lofty dreams
that seem too far away

but what if I choose to stay
and love you anyway

  1. These feel like important questions, and I'm sure the path would work its way out, either way. Well spilled.

  5. Brilliant. Can we love from or through a charade? Tell it all, stay anyway. And chase the dreams together!

  6. Oh, those what ifs. So many possibilities and yet we'll never know until we actually take a step. Beautifully written, Arcadia
