If only she could have been Tom Sawyer, mischievously looking down upon them from the rafters.
If only she could have taken up her friend on that offer for a lunch date.
If only she could have played cards with her Grandma like she always promised.
If only she could have asked that boy out like she said she would.
Yet, the poignant "if only"s only exist to fill the space she used to take up. Echoes of laughter mingle with newborn sobs until they become indistinguishable from each other.
Inspired by "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry
