It could have been you.

It could have been you, who fell in love in an instant,
Who would have been able to close the distance
between your heart and mine,
Who could have let me shine
And be in the landing zone of deliverance.


It could have been you, who came across heartache,
You who had to feel it shake and break,
You who fumbled about for the pieces,
You who ironed out all the creases.

It could have been you who saw me every time like it was the first,
You who felt as though your entire being would burst
When I took your hand, kissed your smile, touched your skin,
It could have been you who felt like you could always win
With me by your side, with nothing to hide,
Except a truth you would never know.
It could have been you who loved with your heart and soul

You who needed me to make you whole,
You who my very happiness would make

And me...
Who your very happiness could take.

It could have been you, who cried yourself to sleep,
Who couldn't speak, but could only weep,
It could have been you, who felt each pain like singular droplets of acid rain,
Pouring down onto your face, to remind you of every chapter in my disgrace,

It could have been you who was disappointed at the sudden loss of my commitment.
It could have been you who had to learn the truth from outside elements who meant to hurt you,

It could have been you who was at a loss for words when I stumbled in front of you with honesty that burned
You who felt the itches as it burned.

It could have been you,
But it was me.
I was always me.
It will always be me…
