But What If

Cried my heart out there on the pavement

Smashed cake and shattered heart

Suicidal thoughts and melancholic tears

An end to an end that ends all end

But what if I never see you again?

Will the sky still be blue and the moon as full?

What if I never met you before?

Will I cry, will I laugh, will I live so complete?

Shyly looking at him from the passenger's seat

Giggling through the songs, a romantic fool

Gentle kisses and gentler love

A prelude to a finish, an eternal closure

But what if I never touch you again?

Will the sun still shine and the stars still bright?

What if I never kiss you before?

Will I know how it is to feel safe and content?

People come and people go, but memory lingers

The day I met you is the day I know I will lose you

Threads disconnected, affection fades away

In a world of uncertainties, the end is always certain

Should I not take your hand then, or softly touch you?

Should I not laugh and smile and giggle, or be happy near you?

Should I not look into your eyes and find solace there?

Should I not bother to realize that you exist in this world?

Yet your existence shaped my life, enhance it even further

Even when the good memories keep me awake all night 

And the loss and the pain will leave some scars

I wouldn't, couldn't want it any other way

Let me tell you I love you, as if you'll be gone the next day 

Let me hold you close and care for you, as if it's gonna be my last

Let me be strong and choose the certainty of a separation

Over the uncertainty of missing an experience with you

For the pain and misery is difficult to bear

Yet not knowing you is even worse

The sleepless nights and the flowing tears are painful

Yet embracing you and feel you near are all that matters

I will love again, even though I will lose you

I will trust again, even though forever is a mirage

I will give my heart and soul, even though this will not last

I will risk the pain, because it is well worth it

Come closer then, sweet lover, one of my many

'Cause for now, you will be my one and only

Tears will fall and heart will break

But let me savor this sweetness, just for a bit

Kiss me now, sweet darling, with all you got

Make every gesture a thing to remember

The loneliness after will kill us, that's for sure

But let us be lost in each other, just for a while

'Tis a dangerous game we're playing, where sanity is at risk

Where eternal hell could wait, just for a second of happiness

Is it worth it? Will it worth it?

Why, yes. Why do you even ask?

Take the plunge, sweet baby, and don't look back

Come find me and let our story began

The drama and the tragedy will follow after

But the romance and comedy is also there to be indulged

And let me love you, as I will let you love me

Let me kiss you and give my all, as I will accept your all

Let me fill your life, as you will fill mine

Let us be together, for this very short time

Love me, sweet lover

Hold me dear, sweet darling

Comfort me, sweet baby

And be forever mine, until time for us to part…
