Maybe if we hadn't walked the edges
If I hadn't fallen (leapt) in
If you didn't cradle me inside your sweater
Like a tiny lost kitten, scruffy and grateful in your lap...
Perhaps if something invisible hadn't prompted you
Forced your thoughts, really into my mouth
Sinking down my throat, exploring the depths
Maybe if we hadn't dangled our feet in that icy water
Catching our deaths together
It wouldn't have ended as it did...
I'm still thankful for the circumstances.
