If You Tried

Maybe you'd be the one to notice the wonder in her eyes.

Maybe you'd be able to define them with words because nobody ever has.

Maybe you'd be the one to do it right if you knew her.

Dear future love, I wish that I knew you.

Maybe you'd be the one to hold her hand and understand what she felt.

Maybe you'd be the one to actually know what a puzzle piece was.

Maybe you'd understand her if you knew who she was.

Dear future love, I'm sorry you're not.

Maybe you'd be the one to kiss her and understand why you did.

Maybe you'd wake up to miss her when she's not by your side.

Maybe you'd stay up with her to prevent what she did.

Dear future love, I'm sorry for this.

Maybe you'd be the one to actually hold her when she's crying.

Maybe you'd be the one who caught her when she thought that dying,

When she assumed that dying was the answer.

Maybe you'd have actually been the one to save her.

Dear future love, I wish that I knew you.

Sincerely,

A friend.

But dear future love, if you tried

And you did,

To hold me all Sunday
To stay up till ten,
To breakfast on Monday
And fun with our kids

Then maybe you were the one
And you saved me in the end.

So dear future love, I'm glad if you did.

Sincerely,
Your love
Who's happy instead.
