I am
Brian Nhira Lyrics

What if I couldn't speak
If I couldn't express myself through spoken language

What if I couldn't eat
If I was physically incapable of consuming food

What if I couldn't move
If I was unable to control my bodily movements

Would you still love me?
Would your affection for me remain unchanged despite these limitations?

What if my body ached
If I was in constant physical pain

And I always made you late
If my actions or behavior caused us to be delayed or tardy

What if I couldn't wait
If I was unable to exercise patience

Would you still love me?
Would you still cherish me despite these challenges?

Would you love me when it's hard
Would your love persist during the tough times?

And our life's fallen apart
If our situation became difficult or chaotic

If the things that we once knew are long gone
If our shared history or memories fade away

If our blue skies turn to grey
If our joy and happiness are replaced by sadness and despair

And my memory fades away
If I was unable to remember our life together

Would you still love me?
Would you continue to love me through all of these hardships?

What if I'm complicated
If I present challenges due to my complexity or difficulty

Always leaving you frustrated
If my behavior or actions consistently cause you annoyance or disappointment

Nothing ever went quite right
If things seldom or never turned out as planned or hoped for

Would you still love me?
Despite these difficulties, would you continue to love me?

Wish I could let you know what the future holds
I desire to inform you of what will happen in the days to come

but that's a promise I can't make
However, as I cannot predict the future, I cannot guarantee anything

through the good and bad happy and sad
Despite whatever challenges we may face

love is a risk that we must take
The uncertainty of love is inherent, but we must still choose to take that risk

If I could speak again
If I regained the ability to express myself verbally

I'd ask you to remember when
I would request that you recall a time in our shared past

We first met and fell in love
When we were first introduced to each other and developed romantic feelings

We were so young and dumb
At the time, we were inexperienced and naive

But our love was so strong
Nevertheless, our affection for each other was potent and enduring

Memories of those late nights
Recollections of late evenings or nighttime events

Are what fuel this fight
Motivation for continuing to work through our difficulties comes from these memories
