The Past
If I could change the past, would I stay on the same road? Or would I take a different path?
If I could change the past, would I tell the people I love I loved them one more time? Or let
the moment pass?
If I could change the past, would I have studied harder? Or would I still just get by?
If I could change the past, would I take for granted the life I have? Or would I live every day
to the fullest?
If I could change the past, would I have gone to the place where we first met? Or would I go
another direction?
If I could change the past, would I have told you I love you? Or let the words stay in my
heart?
If I could change the past, would I give you my heart and my love? Or would I hold it back
and never let you know?
If I could change the past, would I give up on our life together? Or would I still holed on to it
with all my might?
If I could change the past, would I forgive and try to forget? Or say never and turn away?
If I could change the past, would I say the words that hurt you so? Or would I hold them
back?
If I could change the past, would I pray more? Or just take God for granted.
The past is the past, and if we could change the past what use would there be in having a
future.
