If I had another chance, would I have come up and sat down with you? Would I have felt bad as I watched you sit alone? Would I give up my lunch period because no one was your friend?

If you had another chance would you have turned out the way you did? Would you have clung to me and dragged me down so low? Would you have turned our friendship into what it was or would you let me lead it into what it could have been?

If I had another chance I wouldn’t have come over. You made me sit with you even when I didn’t want to. You made me hang out with you even when I had other things to do. I wasted so much time.

If I had another chance I’d hurt you bad. I wouldn’t care anymore. I was the one who was so nice. I came over to you. You were the one who had no friends. Why should I become like you? You were the one who wanted everything and I gave it to you asking for nothing in return.

If I had another chance I’d walk away unsympathetically. I was so scared of making you cry. I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. But if I had another chance I’d let you fall, I’d let you cry. When I’m alone I want to forget about you. When I’m with you I just think about how many other things I could be doing. As you talk I’m listening to my thoughts, I don’t even know what you ever said.

If I had another chance I’d slap you hard and I wouldn’t cringe. I’d pull your hair the way you did to mine, though you thought you were just playful. I’d sit on you with all my weight the way you did thinking you were so light and friendly. I’d insult you so thoughtlessly the way you did to me thinking how funny you were. I’d demand more of you than you could ever do reminding you how you did it all to me.

If I had another chance I’d walk right by without looking back. Now I see why you sat alone. I can see why no one was your friend. I can see why you’re a loner. Why should I be the one who has to take it? I won’t feel bad as I hurt you this time. I won’t feel bad as I walk away. Cry… cry… ‘cause if I had another chance I wouldn’t even think of taking it.

I just started high school and felt bad for one girl, but now you all see how it turned out.
