If it was different

If our life were a movie, 
I would have met you at a train station in the rain, 

Or at a friends dinner party in spring, 

Or after sitting opposite you in a coffee shop, 
Not in a car park after passing you a joint. 

If our life were a movie, 
Our first date would have been at a fancy restaurant,
Or watching a horror film at the cinema,
Or a picnic on the beach, 
Not taking ecstasy In the bathroom of a club. 

If our life were a movie, 
Our first kiss would have been at midnight under the stars, 

Or at a firework display at Christmas, 

Or after almost losing each other to another, 

Not after taking a line of MKAT on your birthday.

If our life were a movie,
I wouldn't have lost my phone. 

If our life were a movie,
You wouldn't have took so much. 

If our life were a movie,

The needle would have been clean. 

If our life were a movie,
I would hand you the flowers and you'd kiss me on the cheek and arrange them into a vase, 

I wouldn't be put them on your grave. 

Author's Note

This sounded a lot better in my head, when I wrote it down I actually don't really like this poem. But maybe I can come back to it if I get more ideas.
