This is the first poem that i have ever written for fanfiction so i hope it's good. Tell me what you think so i can improve on the next one. i know the rhyming scheme (if you could call it that) is a little messed up. It's partially free verse but there is some rhyming in it.

XXXXXXXXXX

--What Would I do?--

What would I do if I hadn't met you?

Would I still be in hiding from the Wraith?

Would I still be here?

Or would I be dead?

What would I do if I hadn't met you?

Would I ever see the city of the ancestors?

Would I ever speak to such wonderful people?

Or would nothing be said?

What would I do if I hadn't met you?

Would I have ever learned about football?

Would I have ever seen a Hail Mary?

Or would I always be alone in my bed?

What would I do if I hadn't met you?

Would I not have these feelings I have?

Would I not know the things I now know?

Or would there be any tears to shed?

What would I do if I hadn't met you?

Would I want to have a relationship with anyone?

Would I ever feel wanted by someone?

Or would I have to find it somewhere else?

If I could change the events that happened the day I met you,

I would choose not to

Because if I did

I would not have met you

And my life would not have the meaning that it has now.

You brighten my day and put cheer in my heart

I love you and I hope we will never be apart.
