what if's, if you's and To be's

what if i wanted to tell you something, but i coulden't
what if i wanted to show you something, but was afraid that you laugh at it?
what if i told you i love you? would you run away?
what if i told you i hated you? would you cry?
what if i left you? would you forget me?
what if i really loved you? would you take me?
out of pity? out of fear? out of ammusement? or...
do you really like me?

if you wanted to say something, say it if you want i will always listen
if you wanted to show me something, just show it proudly, shame is what one percieves
if you love me i will thank you and hug you
if you hate me i will say "it's okay" i still like you
if you left me i will not forget you, you will always be welcome in my life
if you really love me, i will love you back, but to the extent i can

the world is ofthen unforgiving, brutal and cruel.
i want to be the shelter that the innocent will take refuge in.
a light to all, to Encourage, to Support, to Care, to Love, to Guide
