If...

If
today was
all we had we might
make each
moment
be about love.
If there was no
tomorrow
there would be no walls
around hearts as
open as hands
and as easy to touch
and hold.
There would be no
need to save
things
for rainy days
no need
to care if everyone
was watching.
If there were
no more days

to decide
when and
how much to
give up and in
there would be no time
to focus on
ways to avoid
a broken heart or
hide one
but instead
how quickly can we
let each other in and
how far
can we get inside
because shutting down
takes too much time.
If there were no
next weeks
we’d be more careful
about being what we mean
and doing what we can to
make each moment
be
about
love.
