If It Were To Be

This is really a song lyric about some of the challenges of being polyamorous in a monogamous society. But I figured I'd post it here as a poem.

If It Were to Be

If it were to be that you were to be with me
When do I find out if mine is not your way
Would it be alright if I were to spend the night
And in the morning, what things might you say
A one-night stand is fine but would it cross the line
To have another one next week
Would I have to lose you if I couldn't choose you
Is that love, or not the love you seek

If it were to be that you were to be with me
Would I just hold a temporary space
Would you and I be done once you met another one
Would I for you be gone without a trace
Would you feel cut short, another girl in a port
Or is this something you could proudly keep
Should I be keeping score, or is there just room for more
Are these questions much too shallow or too deep

If it were to be that you were to be with me
Would it be a wonder or a curse
That wherever you may go, you would always know
I'd be out there, for better or for worse
Would it break your heart if we were to be apart
When you needed someone and I wasn't there
Could you find another, and as with two siblings and a mother
Still have the same love to share

If it were to be that you were to be with me
