What If...

If I weren't me and you weren't you
We'd met in a place so different than we knew
In a time and an unusual setting
Oblivious to things that we're not getting

Would you be the man I've seen throughout
Would I be the girl to who you'd reach out
If friends nor foe nor emotions we held
If time knew not the cards they'd dealt

I wonder if we'd be now this close
I wonder even then my gaze you'd hold
Reasons differing then and now
Hearts interlocking in an unspoken vow

So many thoughts come to my mind
The days gone by - time I'd rewind
Stop and run to a familiar piece
Look and feel the moment seized

Maybe my eyes couldn't see what's there
Maybe I somehow rubbished the stare
It's been so long since I could read the look
Fear and anxiety my heart has took

It's a long time since I've known you're there
Distance nor people have fluttered the flare
Now and before a break we've seen
Still our souls together have been

All this makes no sense to you I guess
Maybe in denial too, you rest
A happier, simple place it is I know
It keeps us together in a way for sure

But what if you act on what you know today?
What if the fear is finally swept away?
Strong we are alone and immensely together shall be
What if... my friend... we are meant to be?
