What if?

What if all the failures,
the mistakes,
the pain.

The good times, bad times and
times you wish you'd forget.

What if the dreams
hopes and wishes.

What if the drunken nights,
lonely mornings
and cold winters.

What if all the heartache,
the fear of being alone
and those secret prayers

were all just bringing me towards you?

What if this is real?
What if this time, I don't screw this up?
What if

this could be love?
