What if?

Reflection breeds discontent,

The what ifs and now what’s.

Who knows what tomorrow brings

Beyond the rising sun?

We ask what if we hadn’t.

We ask what if we had.

We’d ask what if forever

If our speculations weren’t so bad.

Regret and resentment

Follow the what ifs and the why’s

And in the mean time we don’t realize

That our lives are passing by.

Living in the moment

To knock on future’s door

Is better than dwelling on the past,

Something we’ve all done before.

What matters is where we’re going

Not where we have been

And a pointless question always

Is asking what could’ve been.

We need to seize the moment,

Get our head out of the clouds,

And kiss the stars with our lovers,

While we are still around.

Love gives meaning to life.

Not the sum of our mistakes

So here and now what if doesn’t matter

Instead, of life’s offerings we should partake.
