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?
