If I Were To Write Our Story

If I were to write our story.
Do you know what I'd write?

I'd write you in the perfect light.

Where the sun glazes over 

Your brown marbles,

Beneath your glasses,

And where the wind kisses

Away your tears.

You always wanted me 

To write our imperfect

Love story and even if

We didn't end up together

We made one hell of a story.

Mesmerized by your ability 

To play the piano as if your

Eyes were closed.

As if you composed the music.

Perfectly and undeniably amazing.

If I were to write our story,

I'd hold you in my arms.

I'd kiss your cheeks,

I'd whisper in your ear,

I'd dig my face into the

Crook of your neck.

I'd make us get married.

I'd make us grow a family.

I'd make us better at communicating.

I'd make us last forever.

If I were to write our story,

I'd close my eyes and find you.

I'd write a story where we 

Were made for one another.

Instead of living in this life

Where you didn't let me in,

Where you didn't let me love you.

I'd write our happily ever after.

Holding you close as our 

Eyes opened to the sunlight 

Streaming through our

Bedroom window, morning breath--

You may think that I don't care.

I guess you never really knew 

The real me, the one who tried

To fight for you to see me.

But, baby our story was just

A chapter, a chapter that 

Was meant to end. Even 

Though I never wanted it to

Be just a chapter.

I thought we were endgame.

If I were to write our story,

I'd change the ending.

I'd make you love me.

I'd make you choose me.

I'd make you stay.

But God gave us free-will.

So no matter how much 

I want to change our ending...

If we were meant to be, you

Wouldn't have left.

You made your choice,

And I was forced to walk away.
