There Is No Proper Way to Title This

“If” is such a pretty word
It changes all the “woulds”
and “shoulds”
to “cans” and “wills”
And makes our “whys”
“Becauses”
And changes the whole reason behind things.
I can
Sit and write:
If then, would you?
Even though I should
But you won't
Because you can't
But I will
If you think we could
If you won't
I can't
And if I can't
Then I don't want to
And only you can

The author's comments:
I decided to revisit and flesh out the poems from my work "Paragon." I ask you to read that as well, as it gets the original meaning better.
