Analysis of A Choice Never Made
If you never loved me,
would life be easier
would life be better
If you never loved me,
would you have emptiness
instead of joy and pain
If you never loved me,
would moments vanish
as wishes drag through the years
If you never loved me,
would your heart be orphaned
—by a choice never made
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)
