What if?

What if instead of these bloody sweats and endless strife -
We could sit silent side by side,
Watch the sunset and enjoy the night?
Would that satisfy your thirst, oh dear life, to be an audience?
Or, does it mock the definition of your perfect life?

 Glamour means not so much to me,
Do really see a meaning in it at all?
Could you for a moment now, let that be?
Let's just feel the serenity of the nightfall.

What if the birds that fly, up in the sky so high,
Mean, by their fluttering wings, a pensive goodbye?
Then, is it alright to mock them now?
Do you really feel nothing I feel somehow?

What if what we run after - that desired spotlight,
Is what is being offered to us through this cold night?
 Instead of pondering over the losses long ago,
Could you, for a minute now, enjoy the show?
Just sit by me, I will show you what I see so close,
Just sit by me and rest as the the evening grows.

 I promise I will walk you home safe and sound,
Even if there is pitch darkness around.
So, don't worry about it, just feel the sorrow or dismay,
Of the end of life for until the next day.

 What if it was all a show?
I don't know,
Maybe it is,
Maybe it isn't so.
I guess we will never know.
