What If

What if Your arms weren’t shelter And my happiest moments weren’t when our lips breathed into each other What if When I wake up everyday You’re not the first thing on my mind And our forever didn’t exist And those children we talk about Will never be born What if we never get to dance as husband and wife On that dance floor In between swaying lights As people cheer and clap everywhere And I smile to you and say something Then you smile and I laugh What if we never endured all of the hardships to be together And our souls did not ache For each other And all those longings erased What if you didn’t have to travel And our moments weren’t robbed of us What if you were just a guy And I was just a girl And no Iloveyous were ever exchanged What if we’d play this again And everything was told differently Would you have ever found me
