In another life,
what if I didn't take
the joke so seriously?
What if I would have been
your friend?

Would I have been
the one to hold
your hand?
Would I have been
the one who you'd
hold in your lap,
a kiss on the cheek,
and a quick 'snap'
from the camera?
Would I have been
the one with a
tattoo on my hand
similar to the one
on yours?

In another life,
what if I hadn't
broken your heart
and cheated from the start?
What if I didn't ruin
your trust issue's and
just had let it go?

Would I be the one
you'd marry?
Would we have that
white picket fence,
big house to match the
big family we dreamed of?
Would I have been
the one to
make you so proud?

In another life,
what if I
was a little nicer?
What if I was a
little braver?

Would it have
made a difference
if I gave you those
booklets of highlighted
places to go visit?
Would it have helped
if I was a little
prettier?
What about if I
was a whole lot more
thinner?

In another life,
who would we all be?
Would I have met you all,
and would you have
let me fall
so dangerously
and cruely?

And would you
make up the three ghosts
that haunt me and
know me the most?
