What IF?
*****
What if I'm wrong and you didn't care?
Will my heart survive if you cannot spare?
Should I stop or should I continue to dare
Just in case you feel the same and love flares?
*****
What if I open my heart and tell you?
That what I feel can't be hidden much longer?
What if I bare my soul to you?
Will my heart be trampled and in danger?
*****
What of your feelings for me?
A love for a friend, a brother maybe?
A father? And can never be for a lover?
Will you distance yourself from me to feel safer?
*****
So tell me my love-
Will you accept what we have or ignore?
Will you deny the gift of love?
Or let our feelings flourish and endure?
