You could be... Everything I'll ever need.
You could be... All I've dreamed a love could be.
You could be... The reason I live and breathe....
Or... you could be the death of me.

I could... Remove the walls I've built around my heart.
I could... Open up and let your light shine in.
I could... Feel the forgotten ecstasy of Cupid's dart...
Or... the pain I swore I'd never feel again.

I grow dizzy when our eyes meet... that's all I know.
Something about you takes away my breath.
Your lips could be breathing life back into my soul...
Or... it could be the kiss of death.

The hopeful could-be's outweigh all fears and doubt.
Experiencing you is the only way I'll see.
Come what may... I'm willing to find out...
I'll walk in faith... to see what we could be.

I would rather live and maybe wish to die again
Than to die and never know what could have been.

Really enjoyed this Larry, I like your conclusion!

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

a great remake of "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all!"
I truly enjoyed the read!

Very powerful Larry...the "what ifs" in life is what kills us...wonderful insight on the fear of falling in love.

"When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter"
