Hindsight for a Friend

What would've happened if you had a clear thought that day

Seen a small piercing light

Drawn the shades 

And be ok with being alone.

Would you have still made the trade.

What would've happened if I wasn't so self-involved

And picked up the phone

What would've become of the day after

Holding vigil 

What would've avoided disaster

 

What if I took stock in your letter 

What if I tried to make you feel better.

What if I took notice of your bruise

What if I tried on your shoes

What if I showed empathy

Would there be better news

 

When can I forget this date

When can I shed this weight

What would've happened if I held on to or friendship we built

What if I let go of guilt?
