If I showed you...

If I showed you a girl, from so long ago, would you show me the woman before you?

If I showed you dark corners with twisted contours, would you show me brighter places?

If I asked you to follow me to darkest unknowns, could I trust you to fill them with light?

If I showed you my heaviest heart with past sorrow, would you embrace it and step inside?

If I showed you past chapters of books I have lived, could you accept the stories which shaped me?

If I asked you to hurt me to save me more pain, could you bring the tears to complete me?

If I hand you my leash to hold tight in your hand, would you promise to lead it with care?

If I hand you a moment to be lost within me, could you bring us back to here?

My thoughts carry me away to my dreams, embracing the star which now brightly lights my way.
