We pick apart our actions and wonder, What if I went about the situation differently?

We create these false realities in our head of how it could have played out.

Out of all of the what ifs that play out in my head, you are my favorite one.

You are at the top of the list of every situation that I overthink.

I open each file and sit down on the floor, combing through every moment I spent with you.

Every laugh we shared, every smile you managed to put on my face.

What if I never met you?

Maybe my heart would hurt a little less than it does nowadays.

What if we didnt let our egos take up so much space in our relationship?

What if we stopped being naive and started fearing the possibility of losing one another?

What if I didnt walk out on you in the middle of that fight?

What if we had fought a little harder for each other?

What if you had realized sooner that my love was unconditional?

What if I never stop loving you?

Reality soon kicks in and I close our files.

I come to terms with the fact that no amount of what ifs couldve saved us from the inevitable.
