"If..."

If I cry, would you stop my tears?

If I let you know Im scared, would you fight my fears?

If I kissed you in the middle of a fight, would you kiss me back?

If I trust you, will you promise not to put me in a trap?

 

If I let you know my biggest secret, will you guard it with your life?

If I buy you a ring, would you possibly be my wife?

If I messed up, would you give me another chance?

If there were no music, could I still ask you to dance?

 

If you held me when I cried, would you think of me as weak?

If I'm confused, will you help me find what I seek?

If I hold your hand, would you still walk down the street?

If on Halloween I don't want sweets, will you be my treat?

 

If I wrote you a poem, would you know that's my hearts song?

If I called you, would you stay on the phone however long?

If I'm scared to open my eyes, will you be by my side?

If you love me, would you tell me, or would you hide?

 

If I tell you I'm sorry, would you believe me?

If I'm alone, will you comfort me in my dreams?

If I ask, would you support me through the end?

If I say no, would you ever come again?

 

If I spill my heart out for you, would you believe every word?

If I tell you how I feel, would you just think that's absurd?

If I promise you, would you believe me, or just shrug it off?

If you didn't know, would you take the risk, or maybe not?

 

If I told you about my scars, would you judge me?

If I told you my pain, could you show empathy?

If I open my heart, will you care for it as if your own?

If you love me, we could have beauty, love, and growth.

 

I'm damaged and deeply afraid, scared of love, yet willing to try,

In my heart I feel we could be great, so I spread my wings,

                     I'm ready to fly...
