Perhaps if we
Showed up,
We would’ve stayed.
Perhaps if we
Were honest,
We would’ve loved.
Perhaps if we
Believed,
We would’ve lived.
Perhaps “maybe”
Is a hopeful word.
Perhaps “maybe”
Is a hopeless word.
Perhaps.
But I know it’s a dangerous word.
Full of possibilities
But full of broken promises.
What if we showed up.
What if we stayed.
What if we were honest.
What if we were loved.
What if we believed.
What if we lived.
What if.
Perhaps.
Just maybe.
