What would it be like to be you?

Would it be brightness and colorful dreams and pictures of the night sky as you lay next to your loved one?

Would it be unfulfilled wishes and frightening nights with your heart thumping in your chest in fear?

Would it be him looking down at you as he loves you the way that the other one never could?

Or would it be staring into the empty eyes of the one that could never love you?

Would it be darkness in your mind and behind your eyes as you lay awake at night and recall that night?

Would it be content nights with warmth in your heart?

And could it be like me, sad nights, alone and wondering what it might be like to be someone else?
