Letters To You (Poetry Collection)

What If?

What if I told you all the things

I've been dying to say?

Would you turn your back

Or would you stay?

What if I let the words

On the tip of my tongue slip loose

Even though I'm so close to saying

them if that's what it takes for me to prove?

What if I say it

And it all goes wrong?

Could that be what you've been

Waiting for all along?

What if I told you that you're

The last person I want to kiss?

What if I told you you're the first one

To make me feel like this?

What if when you randomly smile

When you're on your own

Is it me you're thinking of

When you're alone?

What if I'm you're first love

And the last you ever have?

What if it takes telling you to your face so we can pick up where we stopped in the past?

What if hearing those 3 words would

be something you couldn't ignore?

What if hearing me say them is exactly what you've been waiting for?

There's a lot if things that could go

wrong, but I'm willing to take the risk

Because if I don't say it, I could spend

the rest of my life saying "what if?"
