Lingered
Mar 16, 1998
I walked into a room today thinking what if,
What if the spoken had not been uttered
And the sounds of silence prevailed forever
What if you and I had fallen...
And had walked hand in hand bathing in the moonlight
Would it have mattered then?
Should it matter now?-
That a breeze of your cologne
like the first bloom of spring
caresses the air around me?
That I look up, expecting your laugh
your smile in every corner,
But that it isn't, you aren't?
What if, what if the truth really hurts
And this becomes a one sided affair?
Don't answer then.
