a little bit of love

there’s a little bit of love
in this big ole heart
a little bit of love
just a little bit
clinging to the corner
surrounded by the darkness of wishes of what ifs

what if i had done something different
what if i hadn’t said that
what if i had said that
what if i hadn’t done that
what if, what if, what if

the darkness spoke to the love and said
“come to me, let me fill you with myself so that we might be whole again”
but the love shook its head and said no
“one day, this heart will learn to love again”

In this heart, a little bit of love
just a little bit
but one day, maybe not now, maybe not soon
this heart will learn to love again
and that little bit of love
just that little bit of love
will fill the heart with love once again.
