If
If I wasn’t cold and silent
I wonder if you would’ve liked me
If I spoke more and smiled
And expressed the pure joy that seized me
When I saw you
Would you have liked me?
If I told you that I wanted to speak to you
Hear your voice
Hold you
Be with you
Would you have liked me?
But now that I smile a lot
Laugh a lot
Talk a lot
Do you like me?
If I had met you as the version of myself now
Would you have fallen for me?
Would your heart race for me?
Would you wish to be with me?
Wish to hear my voice
Exchange words with me
See me
Even for just a moment
And cling onto that brief interaction?
Would you make an effort to love me?
