if only x by Vikki Owensif only we were older, wiser, truer.
if only we'd been more honest, more willing.
if only we'd been whole before we found
that other half,
then maybe our lives would be parallel
instead of intersecting, then diverging.
if only there were not so many if only's. 04/18/2009 Posted on 04/18/2009 Copyright © 2024 Vikki Owens

Posted by George Hoerner on 04/18/09 at 04:00 PM Good write Vikki. I fear our lives are filled with 'only ifs', except by those who grab the magic ring and live life instead of analyzing it. There are those who make their ifs a reality. |
