Stop to say hello

Sometimes I sit and wonder what would have happened
If we would have never stopped to say hello?
What would have happened if we had not have talked
That day in advanced fitness so long ago?

It is said that everything in life happens for a reason.
I believe the reason for you was to save me from my pain.
Who knew that day in advanced fitness that you, my angel,
Would change my life, make it never be the same?

Our friendship, though not very strong, started that day.
Too bad it was impossible to see what our futures had in store.
Who knew that it would be two years later before we realized what we had:
Two years, a few relationships, and heartache galore.

My only wish is that we would have talked more,
Not listened to the voices in our heads, somehow pushed them to the side
Too bad we cannot go back to shut out
Thoughts of rejection and to ignore our stubborn pride.

Though I’m happy for what we have I still find myself
Thinking about the time that has gone by since that day and how
We let two years go by before we realized what we had.
If we would had known then, would I still feel the way I do now?

Would my heart still skip a beat every time I see you?
Would it jump every time I see your face or hear your sweet name?
Would we just be players in a thing called love
A horrible, heartbreaking type of game

I can sit, think, and wonder about these things all day long
But it really is impossible to for anyone to ever know
What would have happened if in advanced fitness
You and I had never said hello.
