What If? Poem by Guarded Heart

What if we could pause our lives in one place?
And just hold it there in our happiness

What if we could just rewind for a moment?
Prevent ourselves from making mistakes

What if we could catch ourselves?
Before we had the chance to fall

What if you could look at me and see me
Look into my eyes and see what I need

What if I needed you?
Would you need me to?

What if everything was all for naught
And I had known my destiny all along

What if we all listened to what we were told?
And learned the lesson the easy way

What if we could
Where would we go?
What would we do?
Who would we be?
What kind of life would we make?

What if we didn’t have to answer this question first?
What if the answer was already there?
But then, how would we learn to hurt?
