Where She Went

Gayle Forman Where She Went (If I Stay-2)

For my parents: for saying I can.

It well may be that in a difficult hour,

Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,

Or nagged by want past resolution’s power,

I might be driven to sell your love for peace,

Or trade the memory of this night for food.

It well may be. I do not think I would.
