I Think About What Could Have Been

Answerless Questions

What if I didn’t insist that night?
What if I had just let you be?
What if you had never told me?
What if I had never told you?
What if I had hidden my true feelings from you?
What if you just pretended nothing was happening?
What if we had made as if nothing happened?
What if only you and I knew?
What if I kept my nose in my own business?
What if I just tried a bit harder?
What if I didn't give up fighting?
What if I had nothing to do with her?
What if we weren’t so close?
What if it wasn’t her?
What if it wasn’t me?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if?
What if nothing else mattered,
what if no one else had a say,
what if it was all up to you,
would you have given me a chance?



"What if's" are useless now. None of it matters anymore. It won't change a thing. Time cannot be rewinded. Sometimes answers unknown are the best for one to be able to carry on in life. Sometimes not. Either way, we ask many questions that we know in our hearts will never be answered: never confirmed, never corrected, never explained - we just have to learn to life with them.

    if no one asked "what if _____?" then you wouldnt be sitting on the computer writing this.. you wouldnt be able to even consider rewinding time, because we would have no concept of time. intelligent people in the past asked "what if ____?" and it got us where we are today. intelligent people of the present are asking "what if ____?" and it will get us to our future. "what if" questions are beautiful because they allow us to take a baby step backwards before taking a huge leap forward. sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards. the thing that makes "what if" questions so bad for some people is the fact that theyre too stupid or niave to understand that dwelling on the past is ok, but living in the past is what causes problems for people. ask yourself "what if ___?"; its the best way to grow. ask yourself what you could have done differently, then DO IT and enjoy the benefits that come as a result. :)

    Yeah... Live with them but also try to move on. On the rare days I'm feeling optimistic, I think, "Everything happens for a reason." and that makes me feel better. =]
