I'll Lose You in the Stars

If We Stay

I wonder what would happen if you stayed.

I wonder what would happen if I left.

Will you remember my name when we're thousands of miles away?

Will you be able to feel the phantom beating of my heart against your hollow chest?

I wonder what will happen when you leave.

I wonder what will happen when I stay.

Will your soul ache with the absence of my presence and grieve?

Will your eyes be able to see my face when I'm just a foreign memory?

Can you love someone when your worlds are so far apart?

Can you still hold onto someone's hand when your paths forever depart?

Will you hear my voice whispering in your ears when I'm a language no one no longer speaks?

Will my past words still be able to warm the color in your pale, winter cheeks?

I wonder what would happen if you loved me.

I wonder what would happen if I loved you.

I wonder if it would make a difference, despite the different hemispheres we're from, which we always and never knew.

Would I remain here or would I follow you?

Would you go or would you settle?

Could we ever get over our differences and live a happy life together?

Or would we discover we're just the victims of the misconception of a million discarded, tear stained love letters?

Would you wait for me?

Would I wait for you?

Or would I become the outline of another girl from another country whose reality was no longer true?

Will I wait for you?

Will you wait for me?

Our most painful, and unspoken, truth

-War and oceans are too harsh of a cruel reality.
