I wonder

I wonder how it would have been
If you’d seen me first.
If your heart had filled with love for me
And she had been your second.

Would you have struggled to stay with me on that day?
Would you have been saying to her
that you would be staying with me
and she
would never see you again?

Except she would
Behind her eyes
Every day of her life.
