It Could Have Been You

I saw you today
I realize I still love you
But you had yours 
And I had mine
If I had another chance
I would never let you go
But I'm glad
It turned out this way
Because of the little ones
At my feet
For if I had stayed with you
They would have never come to be
I saw you today
I love you
