What If

What if I am wrong about this altercation What if strength instead it gives When the panic that follows ceases How long until you need more from me What if these moments continued What if the tide surged until it went calm Does it work for you as it does me It as water ever moving What if we kept this anticipation Not knowing if it would or would not No future just the unplanned Forever or never just the same What if we met one evening Same place, drank tea, played games What if I panicked for that short while If only to resurface again
