Everything Trying

You listen to a song about how two people find each other after having drifted apart.

I will sail back to you, he sings, she sings.

You too believe you will return to each other and you hold on. But something goes wrong and a few months later you listen to the same song.

I would sail back to you, he sings, she sings.

Would, not will.

I would come back and it meant that it wasn’t your fault. But I’m tired and unwilling to be the only one who is wrong.

Would, not will. And doesn’t.
