If things were different

If you wrote me a poem, maybe things would be different

A different world would have been a brighter places for us


Us being together making sure the shadows aren’t our only friends

Where friends didn’t betray us and we weren’t all alone


Loneliness wouldn’t be the scariest thing

Things would have been saved if we just hadn’t changed


Change wouldn’t have been the worst thing for me and you

Me and you not together making life a little easier


Easier life would have given us lemons

Lemonade? No, you squeezed them into my eyes


Eyes no longer looking in mine

Mine now just cry 


Cry because of one cold friday night
