If Only

If only….
the day were a little longer 

If only…
I felt a little better

If only…
I had more money

We spend our lives waiting

for the right moment

for the ideal circumstances

for permission

If only…
I was better

Hoping for that perfect alignment

If only…
I was luckier

Dreaming of possibilities

a better place down the road

If only…
I made better choices

Searching for signs of relief

in a world designed to test us

If only…
She loved me

Waiting

If only…
I had remembered to live
