What If...


http://www.instagram.com/iammashd

If the year we met in was a different one,
how different would things be....
If the what-ifs all came true, 
would it have been a different story? 

What if we would have just let the rain stop
and the howling winds pass us by,
Would life have gotten better? 
Would things have gotten steady?

What if we would just remember that song
and agree with what Jagger said...
That we can’t always get what we want. 
Would we have gotten what we need?

Would there have been a better you? 
Would there have been a better me?
Would there have been love? 
Would there have been a WE?

All questions unanswered, 
Just as they’re meant to be.
We stand here and look back at life.
Life and its million maybes!

  3. The inevitable question "What if". I am short of words describing the beauty of this post. Hope and pain, both these emotions are so beautifully accorded. Each line is entwined with other with such consonance that it makes one think that what if things would have been just enough different than what it is.
    Happy writing :)
