if I had checked the weather that day

if I had brought an umbrella

if I had walked the same route as always

if I had decided against standing

under the convenience store's awning when it rained

if you had come out of the store just a moment later

if you didn't smile that way at me

and

if I didn't smile the same way back

if I'd said no to your offer

if I had decided to leave with your umbrella

instead of telling you there's room for two

if I hadn't laughed when I saw

your uncovered shoulder getting hit with rain

if we had realized earlier that the rain had stopped

if the awkward silence had not been filled with

jokes and laughter

if we hadn't walked the long route to my house

if you had not asked for my name

and

if my name hadn't sounded so sweet on your lips

maybe we wouldn't have gotten this far
