On the matter of Timing

On the matter of Timing (29th May 2008, 10.56pm)

If it was two years ago
If it was three months from now
If she hadn’t cheated on you
If I knew then what I know now
If I’d sensed when to shut my mouth
If you’d known when to change the tune
If I had been someone else
If you hadn’t been you
If it was meant to be
If we hadn’t fucked it up
If I had just left you the first time
If you hadn’t fallen in love
If she’d moved continents
If you’d decided to stay
If I was my old confident self
If you hadn’t let the past get in the way
If we didn’t work together
If I’d just kissed you when you asked
If you weren’t such an idiot
If I had learnt my own heart
If I’d met you under different stars
If you’d let her go when she said no
If I’d got over it sooner
If you could see in me what I see in you.
