What if all I had needed was for you to ask me to stay?
What if you knew I only ever wanted you?
What if my heart breaks with every backward step you take?
What did you mean, then, when you said forever and family?
Why would you draw me in that way, if only to crush me so suddenly?
What if you had given us a chance?
What if you hadn't run away?
What if I could stand to be within a mile's short reach of you now?
What if I had the stomach to stay?
What if I could stop my feet from running away from or towards you?
What if I could only stand still and breathe?
What if I believed that you don't want me to disappear?
What do you have to say?
What if I turn to vacant misty memory, anyway?
