The what ifs that we ask
Are the things we had no courage to do...

I could have said hello
But I was scared
I could have said yes
But I was afraid
I could have stopped you from leaving
But I was terrified
I could have ran away with you
But I was appalled
I could have fought for you
But I was cowardly
I could have done something
But I was horrified
I could have hold on to you
But I was timorous
I could have made you stay
But I was frightened
I could have told you I loved you
But I was craven
I could have made you mine
But I didn't

**what if I did?
