What If
It's the age old tale
of being on the outside looking in
And forever feeling hopeless
never knowing what could have been
Two souls who cross one path,
two minds that speak the same
one heart that carries hope
one heart that carries pain
He's my escape from a place
that doesn't give a damn
With him I feel like me
-I remember who I am
I know that it won't last,
yet somehow I know it could
but once your heart knows heartache
it forgets about the good
I swore I'd never fall again
I won't let my heart give in
and I held true to my promise
until I fell for for him...
Why do we invite new wounds
just when the old ones heal?
How do the emotions we resent
become the very ones we feel?
What's a girl to do
when her heart doesn't want to fall?
but she can't ignore how fast it beats
after barely beating at all?
Is it possible to find it?
what we learn must not exist
I've encountered every kind...
could it be theres one I've missed?
I'm still not sure what it is
but I'm starting to like how I feel
because for the first time
-in a long time-
...my smile is real
