What If

Do you ever ask yourself what if?

Like how today could be changed,

The ways of your life rearranged.

Like a difference in how things turned out,

A world where you faced regret and left no doubt.

I ask myself the same question every day: What if?

What if I spoke my mind,

Flew into life so blind,

Hoped what I said comes across kind.

But no, I sit back and regret.

Livin life like I'm in debt.

Livin with a weight bearing down,

Stuck lonely in this town.

But what if I confronted my fears,

Fought through the doubt and wiped away mistakes of the last few years.

What if the girl I chose way back then,

Was the girl I fell for in sin.

What if she was all wrong.

What if the regret I've finally faced now,

Was the girl I should've given my vow.

How happy could I be?

So happy I wouldn't have to flee?

What if my mistakes of the past have severely cut the threads of my life.

Maybe that's what caused all my strife...

In an attempt to mend these broken threads, I looked regret right in the face.

Approached the one I once wished to chase.

She's beautiful, amazing, and everything I could need,

Everything I need to be freed.

Freed from my world of regret, doubt, and pain,

Loving life and stepping out of the rain.

Why did I wait so long?

Especially if this is where I truly belong.

Now I face a never ending regret of leaving so soon,

When I wish we could just run off under the moon.

Although I must go,

She's what makes me smile,

The one I have to know,

The one worth my while.

What if.
