What Would Have Happened If

I’d followed the other path, 
said “I love you” more, 
left those bridges unburned,
forgot those grudges I bore,
hadn’t acted in jealousy, 
forgot about envy,
Would the world be better, 
if I had taken some secrets to my grave.

Ditto for me, Jerry. At least, she was always on my mind. ~ Willie Nelson
