The grief of ifs

Its grief rest in its lies.

of could be and would be

especially should be but will never be

in its prospects

forever a woulda, coulda, shoulda

for if I was to love you

or better yet

if you were to love me

if it were to be unconditionally forever

if we could grow old and die together

forever young in love

beautiful

but if only

If only you loved me or me, you.
