Could you?

Do you think for even a moment
that maybe a decision one day
must be made?
A decision to change
change who you are
to give up
the one you love
for the better?
Could you
if you had to
give your love
to someone else?
Would you be able to give up
all of the time you spent
the days given away
the love you felt
the tears you cried
the promises made
the secrets told
the memories made
and the love shared?
Could you be the one
to make the sacrifice?
Would you grieve for the loss
of that love,
or would you just move on?
Anger,
would it set in?
No.

Because if you love that person
you would give them up
to someone else if you had to
that is the ultimate show of love.
To give up your happiness for others
for people you barely know,
for someone you completely know.


Could you turn it all around and let go?
