Tell me: What if my life wasn't the same? I made a different decision once And everything I know now is flipped one hundred-eighty degrees. I chose to not love him? I decided to talk to him? I all together ignored him? Tell me: What if my life wasn't the same? I wouldn't be the same person, And who I am now, never would have even existed. I chose to drink away my pains? I decided to cause myself pain? I all together enjoyed pain? Who would I be then? Who would I be now? What if I took the road more traveled by? Or made myself a new trail? What if I didn't end up admiring the heavens? Or instead hopelessly tried to catch fireflies or fish? At the right time, Somehow, the right people come into my life; They may not be the people I want to meet, Or even the people I think I need to know. Tell me: What if no one I knew now chanced upon me? Would I even exist as I am?
