If only
We had met
Before we acquired
The things that come between us

If only
I had known you
Before we did the things
That now cause us pain

If only we had spoken
On that long ago day
When our paths crossed
And we failed to notice

With so much in common
There must have been times, places
That we shared without knowing
And so never connected

And now here we are
More concerned
With the barriers between us
Than what makes us close

If only
We could turn back time
To the place
When we had potential

Then everything 
Would be different
But would we be happy?
It's hard to say
