Was It Worth It?

Was it worth it?
The chance I took
Seeing you in a crowded room, back to me
When you turned around and the earth shook
I knew I had to catch your eye

I travelled through the drunken mass
People crowded the room
Talking, laughing, drinking
Holding me back as though a tomb
I had to break free to get to you

Once near, I caught your eye
We shared a smile and a drink
I told you jokes and made you laugh
You said you liked a guy who didn’t make you think
I took what I could get

It’s been years now since that day
We’ve shared many laughs and tears
Ups and downs, ins and outs
Shared triumphs and fears
Still, I try my best to not make you think

And on this day when we celebrate
The coming together of you and I
I can’t help but wonder
What would have happened if I didn’t try
But I know for sure the answer

Was it worth it?
