• What if words that should never escape my lips
    found a way, to steal away, from the grasp of my mind
    to give birth to something memorable, beautiful
    to let people know, exactly what I think, what I feel

    What if I could use those words, to stay a bit longer
    a way to keep me feet planted and balanced
    to keep myself above the water, above drowning
    to replace doubt with feelings of the present

    What if I didn't have to say goodbye all the time
    let myself breathe in the moment, let it be
    to not penetrate it with a darker cloud of leaving
    to find a way, to keep all of the elation alive

    What if I stayed just a little longer
    Would I have to face the above
    to be free of the decision
    to create that awful incision

    What if I held on, just a little longer
    Let our embrace blur it all away
    to feel our hearts beat simultaneously
    to not leave you grasp, and you not mine

    What if I had kissed, just a little longer
    The slight touch forever burned on my lips
    to use those feelings at that moment
    to keep it forever as an echo of that time

    What if I had done all those things
    let everything that was me pour out
    to let you know, that it is really me
    to be with you, even when I'm not there

    What if I had let those words, locked in my mind
    escape my lips into the wind, guided by my heart
    to not say goodbye, to stay, to hold, to kiss
    to let you know, that you made me love you...
