What if I asked you if you truly loved me,
would I find out you did not?

What if I stopped drinking,
would I be overcome by the lies?

What if I wasn’t overweight,
would I find out you still didn’t want me?

What if I really tried to succeed,
would I find out I really was a failure?

What if I shared my secret,
would it be as damaging as I’ve made it out to be?

What if I stopped being avoidant,
would I be unwelcomed?

What if I asked you why,
could you look me in the eyes and tell me?

What if I asked you if you truly loved me,
would I hear that you truly did?

What if I stopped drinking,
would I find out the truth about hope?

What if I wasn’t overweight,
would I find out you still want me?

What if I really tried to succeed,
would I find out I have much more within?

What if I shared my secret,
would it be the long-awaited opening?

What if I stopped being avoidant,
would I find out I’m welcomed?

And then I asked you why,
and you looked me in the eyes and told me.
