Analysis of What If...
what if this crazy place
was made up of diamonds
and dreams
and soft little moments
that rolled like waves
in the sea
what if yesterday didn't stand
and all of this was tomorrow's
lost memory
and every time the sun circles
our eyes
a small part of us grows
and a small part of us smiles
and softly dies...
