You left me standing there
Arms extended, wanting you near
Just wanting to hold you tight
Losing you is something I fear
What-if I was crying
For which I was
You’re all I ever wanted in life
You have moved on, what-if
What-if you could always count on me
Where did I go wrong
I loved you without restriction
Wanted the love returned, what-if
What-if our prayers were answered
For me they truly were
My angel, you were a gift from God
Could you listen to God more, what-if
What-if we pursued the plans we made
For they were honest and pure
Taking joy in each others presence
Were your other activities so important, what-if
What-if we didn’t cry after making love
For us as one, was so beautiful
I still carry your warmth day to day
Was it just me in love, what-if
What-if I was happy just being part of your life
To share the joys and sorrows
The chance to look deep in your eyes
You always caved looking at me, what-if
What-if we had never met
Chances at what we both learned lost
Would this daily sorrow that I endure, never had been
Would this love that never was, change my life, what-if
What-if I didn’t have this bucket of what-ifs
Filled till it was overflowing
Would my life be enriched over what never was
Perhaps if you borrowed my bucket, what-if
What-if you took an evening to read my what-ifs
Could we look past pains and hurt and move forward
If you collected your own what-ifs, I would surely read
For you enriched my life, like it has never been
What-if
If you have experienced a love lost, please take the time to read and comment on my other works
