If I stop looking
will there be things I do not see
or will the things for which I search
simply find their way to me

If I stop talking
will my message go unheard
or will the truth of which I speak
be conveyed without a word

If I don't listen
are there things that I will miss
or will all my senses come alive
as if awakened by a kiss

If I just stop
will life around me carry on
will there be those that notice
or wonder where I've gone

But if I live
a life that's strong and true
will there ever come a day
that I will share that life with you?
