If You Would Have Me
By Kelsie Hepburn


How could you
I was finally free, fresh, happy
Distracted with new love
Impossibly content

All it took was your name
The second it hit
It filled the room
Filled my head
How could you

You’ll be here soon
Here in my new life
My only question
Is the one I can’t ask;
Did you think of me,
When you chose this city

We both know what I did
How could I
Unspeakable
I don’t deserve to ask
But I have to;
Did you

It can’t be though
I couldn’t
He knows about you
He knows how you felt
How it ended
What he doesn’t know is
I felt too
I feel still

What he doesn’t know is
If I were to ask
And you were to say;
Of course I did,
Of course I thought of you
I would fall

How could I
I know how it sounds
I’m happy with him
He adores me
But I
I adore you
How could you
You would ask

The truth is,
I would say
If you would have me
How could I not
