What If's

by

Laura Beth Leither

When a relationship has ended so abrupt
With both hearts still wanting to fill their cup
But they can't show, what they really feel
For there's nowhere left to go to get their fill

Both deeply hurt and angry too
Tempers flare hiding all the truth
That deep down they both still want more
Something remains there left to explore

Time begins to pass as they move on
But their struggles within, still remain strong
Months become years and soon they will leave
The school that once held much more than grief

Both wearing a mask for the outside world
Trying to save-face as questions swirl
Knowing they'll be gone after Graduation night
Too afraid to try and keep them in sight

Stubborn as ever they can't give in
To all the 'what-ifs' they hear within
Then one day she gets his screen name
Gathers up strength to restart the game

Friends again both happy to soar
Apologies and truths revealed once more
But what do you do when the 'what-if's' appear
When both have moved on and changed over the years?
