Analysis of What If ?!?



What If ?…
The question that weighs on my mind all the time …
JUST LIKE THAT LIFE CAN CHANGE!
They say … “Tomorrow is never promised”!

What If ?…
I miss the opportunity to tell you how I truly feel!
As time may be few; Regret can last a lifetime!
Let’s be honest, I think about you being all mine!

What If ?…
This is what I sit and try to imagine, you walk in my door,
You telling me you are home and this is for sure!
Selfish? Maybe, BUT …
What If ?…
I can’t think of anything I would want more!

What If ?…
We were to see each other all the time?
Has this been just “New&InLust”!
What if ?…
This is what we find!

What If ?…
That one day will and can change the rest of your life?

What If ?…
We find out that not only …
Am I SO IN LOVE WITH YOU!
We find out you truly feel the same way too!
