What Would You Do?

by iheartu   Jul 14, 2006


Why do things have to change
Just as it seems we're getting somewhere?
It finally felt like the two of us were
Getting closer
And then came that day
You told me you might be moving.

That was the day my world shattered
For weeks I had been putting off telling you
How I really felt.
It had never occurred to me that one day,
You might not be around to hear it.

The more I put it off,
The harder it was for me to keep denying
How much I cared.
Talking to you made my stomach
Flutter
And seeing you made my day
Worthwhile.

And yet, I just couldn't find the courage
To say those three, simple words.
Who would've thought that
Something so simple
Could be so hard to do?

You have no idea what this is doing to me
No idea how hard it is for me
To know what to do.
One part of me is screaming
"tell him, you've got nothing to lose,
And you'll always regret it if you don't"
And the other part is wondering
"why bother telling someone
Who wouldn't care anyway?"

Would you care?
Do you feel the same as me?
Or would you turn and walk away,
Never looking back?
Not knowing if you would ever
See me again
And not even caring if you didn't?

Did all our laughs, talks and jokes
Mean anything to you?
Or was it just me who felt something
When we were together?

If you do leave, just answer me one question.
Was it all for nothing?
Was everything I felt for you one sided?
Or was there something there for you as well?
Was every nice thing you said to me a lie?
Was every conversation we had
A put-on?

Or did we have that connection
They say transforms people?
Did our friendship ever have the
Chance of being set on fire?
Of becoming something more?

If you go, will you watch me crying
And leave without saying goodbye?
or will you be the one to hold me,
Comfort me
Cry with me?

Is this the end of everything we shared?
Is this how endings are supposed to come?
Before the story had even begun?
Our story was just starting to go somewhere.
And now it's like someone's torn out the pages.
We've missed the best parts,
And the end has come all too soon.

Is there a sequel to our story?
Or will this be goodbye forever?
