Sometimes I sit back and wonder...

What if I answered that phone call?

What if I studied for the math test?

What if I tried playing basketball?

What if I took the lost dog home with me?

What if I introduced myself to the new girl?

Well, life is just full of what if's

But you have to keep moving on

Because that ticking clock just won't stop

For one person

The author's comments:

I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life changing schools. I'm constantly asking myself, what if I had done this,

what if I had done that? But i've finally learned that time isn't something that does backwards nor stops.
