If I could build a time machine

There would be a lot of things I would change.

I would change careers, make lots more money

Or perhaps I would just go back and buy a winning lottery in exchange.

I would tell myself to be careful about what I eat; take better care of my body

Maybe see how many mistakes I could erase.

And, perhaps, just for the heck of it,

I would take the time to make the world a better place.

But, as many things as I would rearrange

There is one thing I wouldn’t change, just as certain as the sky is blue.

That would be the series of events

That resulted in me meeting and falling in love with you.
