In this life we are plagued with 'what if's' It's a constant push and pull. To wonder what life would be like without any regrets.

We truly only understand the value of the 'what ifs' when we can no longer make up for it. When we can no longer have a 'do over'.

This poem is riddled with a sense of belonging and loss. It's almost as if I'm reaching out to hold a hand and make this person see the 'future'. I love it when poems MAKE me feel and overall cause me to think.

I really really love the use of repetition and the rhyming. The use of "If' and "would" really instills cause and effect.

Beautifully written, truly a treat. Thank you for sharing.
