rewind

-
- what if i could rewind
- and do it all again
- what would i do over
- what would i never do again
- just when would i press the button
- yesterday, a week, months, years
- how far is too far
- and what would happen then
-
- suppose i undo it all
- then go forward again
- i might get lucky
- and avoid the painful parts
- but what or who would i miss
- how many funny remarks
- and friends i’d never meet
- what would i never learn
-
- so is it best this way
- one time straight through
- with no way to go back
- no pause or instant replay
- or fast forward or rewind
- i don’t know, i only have this way
