Sometimes…

Sometimes, if I lose you in the crowd,

Will you search for me, or leave me alone?

Sometimes, if I lead you into the darkness,

Will you stay back, or hold my hand and follow me?

Sometimes, if I break your trust,

Will you break mine, or try to understand?

Sometimes, if I do what I must,

Will you be by my side and take a stand?

Sometimes, if I say that I don’t love you,

Will you believe me and go away, or love me more?

Sometimes, if I say you don’t love me,

Will you just let things be, and walk out of the door?

Sometimes, if things are just not right,

Will you leave me to face life alone, or hug me tight?

Sometimes, if I am a child and build sand castles on the beach,

Will you be my childhood friend and play with me?

Sometimes, if I sit quietly with you by the ocean,

Will you read my thoughts and talk to me?

Sometimes, if I breakdown and cry,

Will you cry with me without asking why?

Sometimes, when I give up and don’t want to go on,

Will you be ‘the last leaf’ and still hold on?

Sometimes, if someone tries to break us apart,

Will ‘you’ and ‘me’ be ‘us’ again? Hand in hand, heart to heart?
