One phrase, in The Beautiful English Language, always intrigues me…If Only.
Every time I’ve used this phrase, I’ve never been able to escape the power of Pain, Remorse and Sadness…Every time I’ve found myself on the Threshold of Regret, it’s only this phrase that gives me a perspective of what would have happened, if I would have done the things that I ought to have done, but didn’t do anyway!
Don’t look for rhymes and pacific depth…I'd appreciate if you'd add to this list, at my behest!
If only...
