What If…

Accidental Poet



What If…

 

As the sun has crossed the skies

So Sharon, have you crossed my mind

I often wonder of the “what ifs”

If all these years our lives had intertwined

 

What if, our lives took a different twist?

While a young girl you hadn’t moved away

And we became more acquainted

Where would we be today?

 

What if, you had looked into my eyes?

Would you have seen all there is to see?

That it’s your sweet smile

In the deepest part of me

 

What if, our destiny

Was one and the same

That true love smiled upon us

Blessed us with one last name

 

What if, I could find a way to reach you now?

A direct connection, heart to heart

To bring us closer together

As one love never to part

 

What if, the powers of heaven

Gave to us this gift

That special love between you and me

What if…

    Moody Blues this morning! Thanks AP! There's a yearning in this poem that will make you sad! Maybe just great to think you still have this wonderful feeling about her after all these years and in real life it might have disappeared! Plus (being a woman) she is probably thinking the same thing. Who knows.... maybe you will both find each other again - have you tried?

      Thanks for reading Lorna. I did look for her on Facebook about 10 years ago. And I'd thought I found her in Tawas City, Michigan. Same name, same gorgeous face but all grown up. But a few things didn't add up. She was listed as married with a different maiden name, which would suggest that her last name that I knew would be her husband's last name. And her info suggested she was younger than me by like 7 years or so. But her face told me it was the Sharon that I knew from 1967 to 1971. Long story short - it wasn't her, but just an unbelievable co-incidence. Oh well. Then one day I had the thought could she maybe be on here and read my poems for her, and realize that they are about her and I?

        ooooooo how maddening! Maybe pay for one of those people search sites!

        • Accidental Poet

          No, I think its best to just let it go as not meant to be. But I'm content.

        • Fay Slimm.

          Good question to describe such a longing A.P - - an engaging read.

          • Accidental Poet

            AP,
            I agree with Lorna!
            What if you tried to
            find her?

            She might be thinking
            of the same what ifs!
            As Lorna commented,
            she too may be thinking
            and wondering the same
            what ifs about you!
            Thank you for sharing
            your thoughts about
            Sharon...once again!

              Please read my reply above to Lorna.

              • Laura🌻

                I just did! Thank you.
                As Lorna suggested,
                maybe you should try...
                one more time!

              • myself and me

                Life fills with all kinds of what ifs. These what ifs are hope, surprise, maybe pain too. wish your what if come true.

                • Accidental Poet

                  Thanks m&m. Apreciate your reading.

                  What if? The most asked question in our lives and one that can never be answered. Good write AP.

                    Thanks for reading and your comment Andy.

                    Good write AP. Oh woe, it's too late for me. What if I had never married KP? But I have! lol.

                    • Accidental Poet

                      Well orchi, there's always divorce.

                      • orchidee

                        Boo hoo! They won't let me divorce her - the poets who suggested I marry KP. lol.

                        • Accidental Poet

                          Then make KP want to divorce you.

                        • Michael Edwards

                          In law the question we always asked was 'What if ?' . In answering it we only considered points of fact. Takes me back. But I guess it's different here where there can never be an answer in fact - only in unfounded speculation. But sometimes it's nice to dream

                          • Accidental Poet

                            Very true Michael. All in all, I'm content with where I'm at. Thanks for reading and commenting.

                          • FredPeyer

                            AP, your 'what if' poem got me thinking too now. Not that I would want to be with them, just wondering what happened to them. And yes, it is 'them' not 'her'! Guess I was busy when I was young! 🙂
