Would this be easier
if it were slower coming?
or faster in its approach?
Would this be easier
if I'd done it before?
or never experienced anything like it?
Would this be easier
if you were someone different?
or more like you than you could imagine?
Would this be easier
if I were weaker?
or stronger?
Would this be easier
if hadn't spoken my heart?
or told you all of the secrets of my soul?
Would this be easier
if I cared more about you than anything in this world?
or if I didn't love you as much as I do?
Could this be easier?
or is it a loss
no matter which choices I've made?

Author's Note: "Once upon a time Somewhere in your past Someone said forever But that promise didn't last Now you don't believe Love is ever true Steel yourself against the day When I stopped loving you When the day comes that I don't love you Every star will fall out of the sky And every mountain will tumble down And every river run dry For every drop of rain That ever touched the ground For every tear that ever fell And never made a sound I'll be there To hear you call And I'll be there to catch you baby Should you ever fall"
