What if we could pause our lives in one place? <br />And just hold it there in our happiness <br /> <br />What if we could just rewind for a moment? <br />Prevent ourselves from making mistakes <br /> <br />What if we could catch ourselves? <br />Before we had the chance to fall <br /> <br />What if you could look at me and see me <br />Look into my eyes and see what I need <br /> <br />What if I needed you? <br />Would you need me to? <br /> <br />What if everything was all for naught <br />And I had known my destiny all along <br /> <br />What if we all listened to what we were told? <br />And learned the lesson the easy way <br /> <br />What if we could <br />Where would we go? <br />What would we do? <br />Who would we be? <br />What kind of life would we make? <br /> <br />What if we didn’t have to answer this question first? <br />What if the answer was already there? <br />But then, how would we learn to hurt?<br /><br />Guarded Heart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-if-34/
