What IF?

What if you were no more,
What if?
The sun would still shine,
the stars would still twinkle.
One life would end, and would it make a difference?
This whole crap race, where you are sucked in,
this endless trudging on the path you keep cribbing.
The destination which you dont even like,
the reward you dont even want.
Still the pursuit???
What if you just stop for a while,
what if?

But miles to go before I sleep,
you think, and there is no time.
Dream is not what you are taught to do,
and work is all you do in your prime.
What if you just dream for a while,
What if?


Things that matter to you, are in your reach,
Still you wont reach out.
People you love are near you,
Still you chicken out.
What if you express just once in a while,
What if?

Time is money, they say
And time and money is all you care,
What if I say love is money,
would you still care to stop and share?

Coz there are so many "What if's" in my mind and heart right now...
