What If
a poem by gab caraon

What if you found yourself someplace
You've never been before?
Where you thought that you'll never be
Are you ready for what's in store?

What if one day you let yourself
Be seen by a complete stranger
And as he looks at you he smiles
And say, 'Have we met somewhere?'

And after that you go and sit
And talk beside the fire
Then suddenly you feel the warmth,
You're laughing and inspired.

You talk some more, and laugh some more
You feel so good inside you
Oh how you wish for time to stop
And see things all around you.

You know you want to show him more
Your feelings start to grow
But you held back, you chose to hide
And you don’t know why.

Then amidst the hearty laughs
Tears fill your eyes, you cry
You see the stranger say goodbye
Oh how you want to die...

You come back to reality
It was all but a dream
You close your eyes and start to wish
For reality to vanish.
