in another lifetime,
i would've asked you to stay
i would've held your hand
and never let go.
in another lifetime,
i would've studied your silhouette
more carefully
and carved it in my memory.
in another lifetime,
i would've protected you
from all the pain coming ahead
and took all the bullets for you.
in another lifetime,
maybe
just maybe
you wouldn't have been the one
standing behind
the trigger
of the gun.
