What If...

What if I had not grown up the way I did...would I be the same?
What if I had not been a fighter...would I have survived?
What if I had been handed everything...would anything have meaning?
What if I was a man...would I see my life the same?
What if I had never married...would I still be naive?
What if I had never risked...would I have so much?
What if I had never dreamed...would I have a life so full?
What if I had never changed...would I be complacent?
What if I had been broken...would I ever be whole again?
What if I had never believed...would anything materialize?
What if I had followed the crowd...would I be unique in any way?
What if I had been consumed with hate...would I have ever loved?
What if I had never loved...would I have never felt pain?
What if I had never loved...would I have ever dreamed vividly...in brilliant colors?
What if I had never loved...would my heart still beat in tireless rhythm?

What if I had never loved...would I grow up...would I believe...would there be meaning...would I live...would I hold on to innocence...would I be whole...would I be unique...would I have seen you...What if...

What if...you are my what if....
