But, what if?

Ok, I know, it's a bit of an overkill 

But, hear me out;

What if, instead of over-drowning ourselves in constant texts, chats, and calls we focused on genuinely missing someone? 

What if we allowed ourselves to be missed by the person of our interest? 

What if we let ourselves decide to see someone again, not because it's easy, but because they are worth our time and effort? 

What if our decisions were not based on loneliness, or boredom, but were actually based on added value?

And now imagine that

What if this time, they wanted the same as you?

What if they held it together and worked on keeping their focus on you? 

What if, for once, the stars had aligned and love would come easy on you? 

What if they did the work, with themselves, for themselves, by themselves so you didn't have to do it for both? 

And what if, just what if, this time it worked? 

And you had all you ever dared to dream of?

And all the struggle and disappointment would finally make sense?

And, alas, you'd know this is for you?

What if? 

Would you be able to recognize happiness? 

Or would it scare you away? 

Would you stand up to it?

Or would you let this one also go?
