breaking my own rules

i'm not a fan of "what if"s . . . but here are a few anyway. just to leave me conflicted and wondering.

what if i never worry again?
what if life stays this good?
what if the headaches don't stop?
what if growing apart is all that's ahead?
what if loss never stops hurting?
what if it's simpler than i imagined?
what if it's not about thinking or feeling or doing or even being?
what if i love you without knowing you?
what if the campfire smoke can't wash away?
what if 84 hours make all the difference?
what if i learn to walk?
what if i'm loved without knowing it?

what if i'm looking for answers to these questions, and i'm not just being a whimsical smart-ass?

are you looking for answers to these questions, or are you being a whimsical smart ass? I htnk if you can answer this one, the rest arent far behind

Im glad, but I must admit that some of these are rather specific... I mean I can tell you that campfire smok washes out in the laundry, but I dont think you are asking that...

fair point. maybe i'm not expecting answers from blog visitors . . . maybe it's unreasonable to expect that.
