Maybe, Maybe Not

I could have loved you.

Maybe not right away, but eventually.

Once we knew each other, once we became less afraid.

I could have loved you.

We could have made plans, had fun, had adventures.

Or we could have done nothing. Still sounds good to me.

I could have loved you.

I really believe that. And it might have taken some time, and a whole lot of trust, and a whole lot of courage but…

I could have loved you! And I may have never stopped.

You know that, right?
