What if the last thing I say to you is not “I love you”? What if I never get to taste your cooking again? What if this is the last time I get to walk my dog; pet his fur; smell his breath?
What if something better comes my way? What if something worse arrives instead? What if I never hear your laughter again? What if I never get over it? What if I forget it completely?
What if I regret this? What if I don’t? What if my life changes? What if it stays the same? What if no one else has these fears? What if I’m no different from the rest?
What if I say something wrong? What if I never write anything of substance? What if I am forgotten — and it all meant nothing? What if I can’t let go of yesterday?
What if tomorrow never comes?
What if I stopped torturing myself with psychological time travel based on what-ifs…
… and just lived for today?
