Would I have stole your colored markers?
Back in second grade of class,
To refuse the lure of envy,
To fall no further than a blade of grass,

Would I have granted you my first kiss?
Full knowledge of checkerboard’s past,
To by-step heartache’s unrequited love,
To realize concept - never destined to last,

Would I have given you my heart and soul?
A marriage of two best friends,
To falter in societal trends,
To lease a house without a picket fence,

Would I have brought you into this physical world?
A flash of insight with your birth,
To forget all that was taught,
To start over; to remove excess girth,

Would I have changed one single experience in life?
Moved a strand that was out of place,
Let the path proceed beneath these feet,
Full of ruts, rocks, and moments of space.
