Poetry

Solely

by eyes + words
Comments 25

Written by Jacob Ibrag

We’ll play with words,

pretending to misunderstand the

intentions. And then we’ll want to touch

one another, to disappear within each others

bare skin. Yet it will have been too late, trading

goodbyes instead of sharing the secrets of each

others lips. Imagining what could’ve been,

existing solely in the what if.

    Sometimes, we come to the realizations of what a good love we once had, and, we live in regrets of our if…only’s…

    Sometimes the what-if is all we’ve got.

    I think most of us could fill a book with our what-ifs…
    beautiful and evocative.

    The familiarity of these words is unsettling
