Hypothetically

Can I ask you a question? Please?

Promise that you won’t laugh at me?

So I’m standing here

Hypothetically

afraid I’ll be betrayed

As twisted as it would seem

hypothetically

I only fear in my dreams.

So can I let in the morning light and let the darkness fade away?

If, hypothetically

I had to hold my breath,

How long would I last without meeting my dear friend death?

I reach for the sky as the moon looks on

Another year will have come and gone

Hypothetically, how long could I last?
