If I Saw You Again

If I Saw You Again

A Poem by Laura Harrison

If I ever saw you again

would it be all those other times?

Confessing our darkest secrets

and hopeless fears

until we passed out way past midnight

and knowing that we would always have each other

when nothing in life was going right

or would it be quick glances

and awkward hellos

both of us desperate

to get to the other side of the road

but would you do the same

as I know I would do

and watch me as I turn my back

and walk away from you?

and I’ve been struggling to sleep

since the day you left my life

with not a single explanation

nothing to ease my mind

for some reason you decided

that this was for the best

but I would jump at any given chance

to start all over again

and life has never granted me with any second chances

an opportunity to finish what I started

I know that I should have told you

the second I knew you were all I ever wanted

but if I ever saw you again

I hope to God I can find the courage

to tell you everything that’s written in this poem

and if life was just like the movies

you would hold me tight

and tell me that you’ve always loved me

if life was like the movies

we would finally get our happy ending.
