What If Poem by Mara Manzano

What I didn’t get to know you, what could life be
If I didn’t have you, what could be in store for me
What if we remained friends, will I be happy
What if all of of this didn’t happen, will I be sorry

What if I took a different path in life, will I see
A diverse story of me being free
But what if I took it and I dislike my reverie
Everything is blurry, I can’t decipher the anatomy

I love you, with all my heart, you know that
I keep protecting us but I’m sick of these attacks
I know when the time comes when we’re finally together
I can prove to you that we’re meant for each other

I keep asking myself why are people being so bad
They keep telling me things that makes me so mad
But maybe those are just trials that we need to surpass
Baby, please prove to me that our love will last

I hate this feeling, I need to let this go
‘Cause deep inside, I know this love will grow
Baby, I love you and I want you to know
That I’ll hold on, all will be well tomorrow.
