Poetic Whispers

Perhaps

Perhaps if I'd written you a poem

Perhaps if I'd sang you a song

Perhaps if I'd yelled it to the world

Perhaps if I'd whispered it just for you to hear

My life is filled with "perhaps" and "what if"

Racing through my mind

A soliloquy flowing from my lips

Perhaps if I'd said yes earlier

Perhaps if I'd flirted back sooner

Perhaps if I'd befriended you before her

This poem wouldn't have to exist

Wishful thinking could be at fault

But I can locate a graveyard of wasted opportunities

Regrets that I can never go back and change

Perhaps my biggest is you

Perhaps I should've fallen for you sooner

Could that have changed the outcome?

But then again if I hadn't fallen for you at all

Perhaps life would've been easier

Perhaps it would have saved me some trouble

But then perhaps I'd still pretend I was straight

And perhaps I would've lost an opportunity for a friend

Whether lovers or not I can't bare to part with you

Perhaps you've realized how intrigued and entranced I am by you

That 'what ifs' and 'should haves'

The 'perhaps it could've played out differently''s

They'll kill me-

But perhaps it's better to not know what could have happened

Yet as long as my presence is welcomed I'll remain

Because perhaps if I do

Something extraordinary will happen between us
