What If Poem by Tim Romines

What If


Twist of fate
Right or wrong
See her face
When you hear one song

Heart rate rises
Face gets flushed
You anticipate feeling
Her gentle touch

Is this the one?
Can anyone know?
Am I willing to open up?
Can I let my feelings show?

Gentleness given
Gentleness received
A truly honest feeling
That is very hard to believe

Going through life
Not being understood
You start to think
That nobody could

But you take a chance
Jump in feet first
Is this like the water
Needed to quench my thirst?

Only time will tell
You just never know
Trust and honesty can last
And love may prevail.
