If This Was A Letter

I wonder if you've ever stopped to think of me
I wonder if you ever think of me at all
On days when things just haven't really gone your way
When something in you hurts, and takes your breath away

I must admit I've wondered, after all these years
Occasionally, in fact I've dared to dream
How it could have ended, had you chosen me
I guess I'll never know, another life mystery

But I think that you've done better, with the choice you've made
I only knew I loved you, but I could not count the ways
You were wise to let me go, it had to end sometime
Me with my rough edges, and you so young and kind

And if this was a letter, I'd send it to me
I think that I'd just write it, just for me to see
If you saw me now, you'd be proud of me
I've finally tamed my demons, at last I'm finally free

But still, I'll always wonder, if you think of me
If you ever think of me at all
I know, it doesn't matter, but sometimes I like to dream
How it could have ended, if you'd chosen me

And if this was a letter, I'd send it to me
I think that I'd just write it, just for me to see
You were wise to let me go, it had to end sometime
Me with my rough edges, and you so young and kind
