What Could Be

She sits there watching him as he sleeps.

Thinking about what could be.

As she lies down next to him he sighs.

She wonders if it's her he's dreaming about.

She wants to be his in both heart and soul.

But his heart has been hurt so much he can no longer trust it.

If given the chance she would make him whole again.

Tears well up in her eyes because she knows it may never be.

She doesn't know how to say goodbye to this love.

She would rather be in his life like this then not at all.

How long can she go on feeling like this without losing herself?

Forever her mind tells her even though her heart knows she can't.

She slowly closes her eyes and dreams of what could be.
