first you'll feel happy.
when you're with him
sparks fly.
holding hands.
fireworks.
new year's kiss.
kiss under the mistletoe.
smiles full of love.
but when it starts,
you'll feel it.
i know you'll feel it.
those excuses?
"i had practice"
"sorry i was sleeping"
"i only saw this now"
"my phone was off"
he'll start to drift away
you'll see.
you'll feel.
his hands will be cold.
you'll try to rekindle it.
or you'll let him go.
but when you try to rekindle
something that really can't be
you know it won't do.
but when you let him go,
oh when you do,
he'll gladly go.
or maybe he'll ask
what went wrong.
what would you answer?
would you say you've noticed
all the signs
or would you stay quiet?
if you answer,
he'll say you're overreacting
oh but when he loves you
when he doesn't want you to go
he'll say he's sorry
but which reason is he saying
sorry for?
does he love you?
or does he not want you to go?
and when he says sorry,
will you accept it?
will you reject it?
will you accept because
you love him?
or because you can't let him go?
will you reject it,
because you
love yourself?
or because you know
that letting him go
is better
than making him stay
because you think
him staying
is him being unhappy?
all these questions.
all these questions.
maybe you won't even
reach this point.
maybe you'll stay happy
maybe you're going to
be the one to do what
he does.
maybe he'll be the one
faced with this decision.
maybe you'll end peacefully.
maybe one of you
finds another.
maybe one of you
tries another.
you see,
we all have different
stories.
we all have different
endings.
we can't base stories
on two,
three,
four
decisions.
maybe others
will find
loopholes
decide other
decisions
maybe they'll fall for
another
fall for someone
of the same sex
not fall at all,
or carry the weight
of their mistakes
maybe they'll die
all these possibilities
in our world
and yet people keep
making you think
you only have two choices
to fight, or to let go.
him or him.
her or her.
your happiness or hers.
your happiness or his.
stranger,
stranger,
there's 7 billion people
in this world.
there's 7 billion, maybe
even more, decisions
to choose from.
believe,
because
stranger,
the world itself
is a 'maybe'.
