the wrong decision.

the exact specific sequence of events required to take place in order for two people to cross paths, at exactly the same moment in time, is truly remarkable to me. one single decision can change your entire future. you alone, have the power to create your own destiny. i never understood what people meant when they said this. but now i do. i understand. you can change anything and everything within one single moment. one impulse. the universe, in my mind looks like one big domino effect. sometimes i wonder, if only i had simply chosen a different route. if only i had stayed home that night. if only, our eyes hadn't met from across the room for a split second. and i still wonder, if only. if only, i hadn't been sitting alone, maybe you wouldn't have spoken to me. if only i had kept my head down, my eyes wouldn't have caught your glance. if only, i had made a single decision differently, perhaps, we could have avoided the pain altogether... but i guess somewhere along the way, i took a wrong turn and made a bad decision. and that is the irony of the consequences to our own decisions.
