What Happens

what happens when
you discover that
when I yell
I yell
really really loud
what happens when
I don't have time
to do my hair
or pick out clothes
what happens when
you find me
on the floor
unable to talk
through the sobs
& what happens when
you realize
somedays I can't
get out of bed
but
what happens when
you see me
complimenting strangers
as they pass us by
what happens when
you catch me
dancing around the kitchen
while I make you dinner
what happens when
you wake up next to me
for the first time
when you discover
the only think that
I am truly afraid of is
loving too hard
& what if you stay
& and what if someday
I ask you
why that is
and you tell me
it is because
I love you

what if
