Would You?

Джой Вильямс
If I asked you to leave
Would you go?
Would you give up
Everything you own
Everything you love
Every memory, every street
Every raindrop on a windowsill?

If I asked you to go
Would you do it?
If it meant for you to abandon
All your friends and people you love
So you can spend the rest of your life
Walking in the crowd
Staring in the eyes of the strangers
Trying to recognize the faces you once knew
In search of those you had left
And yourself
Or who you could have been

If I asked you to stay
Would you stay?
Even if it made you sick?
Even if instead of dreams
You had to count nightmares
Every night, every hour, every heartbeat
To lose your peace of mind
And never receive anything in return

A broken promise
A wasted time
Take them and be happy
Only if you can...

If I asked you to leave,
Would you go?
