If.
An if means a world of difference.
An if,
In any case,
Can turn around an existence.
�If I�d been someplace else.�
�If I�d controlled myself.�
�If I�d said something, anything.�
An if,
Even in its mere conjunctive existence,
Means everything.
�If I�d listened better.�
�If I�d looked the other way.�
�If I�d said �I love you��
And even now,
The word if is being uttered,
By 3 million sorry tongues around the world.
�If I�d just stayed home...�
�If I�d told her no...�
�If I�d called him...�
With each if,
Is a regret.
A regret so big,
That it may reverse everything.
�If I had stood up for myself.�
�If I�d told the truth.�
�If I had been smarter.�
The hope is...
That then, things would be different.
Things.
A noun so general,
That it encompasses all.
�How did things get this way? Oh... if I had just listened.... this might not have happened. What if...�
If.
If only...
�If only I had been more prepared.�
�If only I was brave enough...�
�If only...�
Then maybe things would be different.
But... that�s just an if.
A simple...
insignificant...
little...
if.
