What If?

Location

What if I’m wrong?

Wrong about being scared

Scared to have a relationship

Scared to love.

 

What if I got it all wrong?

What if it’s just my way of protecting myself?

What if it’s just an illusion that my mind creates

 

What if I can?

Can have a relationship

Can love and trust and have happiness again?

 

I can, but what if?

What if it doesn’t work?

What if it doesn’t last?

 

Will I have regrets?

Will he have regrets?

Will we even be able to face each other again?

Will it ruin our friendship?

What if it does ruin our friendship?

 

What if?

What if I get hurt again?

Will it hurt as bad?

Will it tear me apart as much?

 

What if it does?

What will I do?

Will I be able to numb myself like I am so used to doing?

 

What if I end up hurting him?

Will I ever be able to forgive myself?

Will he ever be able to forgive me?

 

What if it does work?

Will we just be “high school sweethearts?”

Will we go beyond high school?

 

What if we go to different schools?

What if we choose different career paths?

Would we be able to make it work?

Would we trust each other enough?

 

What if we do?

What if we do make it through high school?

Make it beyond high school, no matter what career paths we choose.

 

What if I can trust, love, and be happy again?

What if I can have another relationship?

Where will I end up?

Where will we end up?

 

What if, two words.

Two words than can make something positive or negative.

Two words that can change your future.

So, what if?
