Maybe

If not today, then maybe tomorrow.

If not a laugh for right now, maybe for a memory remembered 20 years from now.

If not a kiss before our last good bye, then maybe in a dream when  we wish we had "this" back.

If not a smile for the hiding of your pain today, then maybe one far from now for pain that's worse then.

If I'm not

If we're not

If your not

Then maybe we will be when our hearts have already stitched back together,

and we will no longer have the capacity to mesh into one.

Maybe when we become detached permanently, will "we" be your priority.

Will we then begin to see, that sometimes in life, love will only ever have one opportunity.

And if we were blind enough to throw it all away,

then we will build the rest of our lives on "we will never be"

And we will have chosen to become "if nots" without any hope of being free.
