The Ifs of Us
If there’s
A bridge
I could cross
no matter
how long,
that would
take me
to where
you are,
I’d gladly
run
to the
other end
to reach you.
If i could
traverse
the vast
space
that
separates us,
in no time,
I would…
Just
to be
right
beside you…
And feel
the warmth
of your
embrace
as we hold
each other
tight..
But it’s
a question
of could we,
would we,
should we…
When we
aren’t so sure
of what
brings us
close together.
If it
isn’t love,
I’m not sure.
If it is love,
I hope
it’s pure.
If it is nothing,
that should
tell us
something.
The question
remains
and
the answer
lies in wait.
But for now,
just you and I
matters.
Don’t mind
the distance.
It’s you and me
and nothing else.
Just me and you…
Come, let’s get
through.
