If I were you

Dear Myra,

I would have had a perfectly enchanting smile, adorable brown eyes and a carefree lovable heart. I would have been beautiful, if I were you...

I wouldn't have found the painfully shy boy, really cute and romantic. I wouldn't have been uncomfortable with the quiet, if I were you...

After crossing past your table seven times in half an hour, battling within my own head whether or not to ask, when I asked you for a coffee with me and you said yes, I wouldn't have chuckled the way you did, when I blurted out , shocked, "Are you sure?". I wouldn't have asked the weird, shy boy, "Want to get one right now?". I would have hesitated if I were you...

I would have been to excited about the first, technically second, date but I would never have told all about it to my roommates, and said it loud enough that half my hostel knew about us after the very first day. I would have kept it a little more private, if I were you...

All those stupid morning fights over toothpaste caps and wet towels. All of those seemingly insignificant arguments about me misplacing your things and you trying to organize my room wouldn't have mattered so much. My room would have ours if I were you...

When everything started to go south and it felt like the end, when we couldn't stop yelling at each other over things. I know you have temper issues but so do I. I would have tried to calm things down between us for the very first time. I would have said it back if you said that you loved me. I would have tried a bit harder, if I were you...

I would have rode a bus all the way to our home and knocked up at the door pulling up a smile. I would have wanted to come back if I were you...

When I came to apologize for your mistakes and made them sound like mine, I would have tried to listen if I were you...

I would have agreed to have a drink with me. I would have appreciated the love song played by me and given you a hug. I would have forgiven me, if I were you...

Ours would have been a different story if I were you...
