What Ifs Poem by Mark Heathcote

Love is a gambit a game of roulette
A kiss with a heady taste of red wine
Fuelled with a champagne rocket fuel
Weightless, without guilt, what can I do...
Accept orbit in circles like a balloon around you
Waiting till I burst, bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Oh, who pulled that trigger? Darling, it wasn't me.
I wanted to love you forever
I've always been too weak to say never to you…

Love is a chance meeting, but when it's fleeting
It'll never leave your head
What ifs fill every breath, what if I could close my eyes?
And remember, memorize every moment polarized
Would you beat like an amphetamine in my brain?
Would I reach my every high my every goal?
Would my heart explode?
Would I finally find my vein of 22-carat gold?
What ifs fill every breath would it really matter if I lived long.

Love is like lightning it is like something glittering on the top shelf
As soon as you've gripped it, either you or it lets go
No one really knows why champagne goes flat
Heaven goes tasteless, what, if, ifs filled every breath
Leave us breathless crazy but here I am waiting,
Waiting, waiting till I burst, bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Oh, who pulled that trigger? Darling, it wasn't me.
Was it you I wanted to love you forever
I've always been too weak to say never to you...

Ooh, what if all you're if filled thoughts filled every breath?
Ooh tongue what a thirst
What if this filled every breath, what if I could close my eyes?
And remember, memorize every moment polarized
Would you beat like an amphetamine in my brain?
Would I reach my every high my every goal?
Would my heart explode?
Would I finally find my vein of 22-carat gold?
What if this filled every breath, would it really matter if I lived long?
