What If?

for the What if contest and in memory of someone I lost any years ago.

   

What if I wasn’t so focused

On my music… Instead

Realizing what was more important.

Would you still be here

So we could share the life

We created in the heat of passion.

 

Is it possible we would have still been happy together

or just sharing memories

And letting each other know we still care.

 

Either way wouldn’t have mattered

If you were still both here.

 

What if I was there driving that night?

Would your smile still be gracing

This world…

Or would we be harmonizing

in heaven?

I feel the pain every single day of What IF. It is a questions that I think haunts many people. Great write. Lots of questions, few answers, just like with the rest of us.

great piece of writing... damn those 'what if's' any way...

the only thing i would suggest is to shrink it a little - some of the words are cut off...

Deeply driven, like a pounding spring rain... Your flow with such emotion, such yearning to know... Very well done, my friend!
