Hindsight: n. ability to see, after the event, what should have been done: opposed to foresight: n. thoughtful regard or provision for the future......
I wish I could change things
but I can't rewrite history
If only I was granted a future glimpse in a relationship
Maybe then I could avoid being haunted by the what if's
Looking Back
What if
I had been less of who I thought I should be
who I thought you wanted - needed me to be
and more of who I actually was
What if
I just loved you more
and been less concerned about thinking about loving you
Looking Back
But I can't rewrite history
or turn back the pages of time
But I can learn the lesson
What if
I said - Baby I'm sorry ~ more
And insisted on proving you wrong ~ less
Looking Back
A future's glance was all I needed
to see how much love and loving you
mean
And how little the things
mean
I would do things so very differently
Looking back
But all I have is the here and now
I can only write new history
I have learned the lesson
And I know
Even in this bittersweet moment
The joy and pain of
Looking back.......

Wow how many if I coulda', woulda', shoulda's did I play out over and over in my heads. I've been down that long road.
ReplyDeleteKnowing too much is not a good thing nor a smart way to go thru life.
ReplyDeleteits those spontaneously beautiful moments we sometimes recognize, and sometimes miss, but its all about the unknown that humbles everything.
