What If?
What if I told you
I see you
Not that character you play all day
But I notice your every move
I’ve learned you
I see the tough face around strangers
I see that wall go down slightly around friends
You use humor as your mask
It’s better than talking about feelings
and how about
that light in your eyes that shines when you’re being silly
You know that lil move you do
No rhythm at all but I still choose to dance with you
What if I told you , you were safe with me
You could show every side of you
Happy , sad , angry , and confused …
And I promise to forgive you always
Because I understand you
What if you let me in and let me shower all of those broken parts of you with love …
And tell you it’s ok to break in front of me
What if you put your trust in me
Like fully
And I let my feminine energy flourish
Just for you
What if you open up about that heartbreak
Admit that’s why you push ladies away
Because you truly love hard
But Past pain , made you quiet & distance
Now a true connection is too much of a risk to take
What if you
face that trauma
With me holding your hand every step of the way
Reminding you ...
At the end of the day you have a friend in me even if you push me away
What if you fall for me
And you suddenly see I’m not perfect either
What if I break and my trauma has a different effect on me
You shut down , I act out
Is there anyway to save what we created
Or is letting go the best option because it’s easier than forgiveness
It’s easier than trying
It’s easier to go away than see the one you love drowning
But what if you love me through it
Show compassion and understanding
Be strong for me during a time I feel like dying
What if the smallest act of kindness has the biggest impact
What if it leads me back to the loving , funny , strong woman that spoke so much life into you before
What if ego & pride could die
Hurt was healed
And Love won ….
What if …
