Day 30- A Song That Reminds You Of Someone

Day 30- A Song That Reminds You Of Someone 

What ifs by Kane Brown feat Lauren Alaina


Here on day 30, I have a confession to make.  This topic was actually supposed to occur 25 days ago on Day 5, but I couldn’t write it.  I tried but every song I could think of kept coming back to the same person and the feelings there were just to raw to express.  I tried to just blow it off and make something up, but I also couldn’t do that.  I knew this would need to be written, more for me than anything else.  So, I cheated a bit and pushed it to the end swapping days 5 and 30, trying to buy the time I needed to sort it all out. 

Now here I am at Day 30 and I have written and rewritten this so many times that at one point, I almost made this the 29 Day Song Challenge.  Eventually I managed to get it down but it was very lengthy and after doing so,  decided it’s not something I wanted to share.    Instead, I will keep that long version for my own  use and go with the “less is more” philosophy here. So here goes…

7 months of trying to answer the questions posed in the chorus of this song, with a person I never saw coming, changed my life and reminded me that yes, there is also love in the world.  What are the questions?  Here ya go

 What if I was made for you
And you were made for me
What if this is it
What if it's meant to be
What if I ain't one of them
Fools just Playin' some game
What if I just pulled you close
What if I leaned in
And the stars line up
And it's our last first kiss
What if one of these days baby
I'd go and change your name
What if
I loved all these what ifs away”
