What if?

What if?
I have a problem with what ifs
they run wild in my brain
splashing their guilty paint
on every wall

What if I had gone out with you
instead of shutting you down?
What if I had brought a flashlight
on our trail instead of balancing myself
with my arms around your frame?

What if I had stood my ground
and refused your eager lips?
What if I had shrugged off
your youthful embrace
and the sparks and shakes
it caused up and down my spine?

You see I really do have a problem
with what ifs
because no matter how much
you tell me it's not my fault
I will wander and wonder
what if.
