IF

I disappeared today

would you miss me?

If I just called you late at night

would you call me back?

If I sent you a letter telling you everything on my mind

would you  write back telling me the same?

If only every time I reached out to you didn’t feel like the last.

Maybe I would have more time to write this out to you.

If only I had seen the signs or paid more enough during the times

we spent together.

Now it may just be too late as I close my eyes and remember the moment that

changed everything for me and for you.

If only there was a way to save us both at the same time.

  1. Henrietta Watson – Panama City,Florida – Hello and welcome! My name is 🌈🌈 Henrietta Watson 🌈🌈, and I write under the author name Etta Bighen. I’m an independent author, blogger, poet, and short-story writer who loves using words to inspire, entertain, encourage, and connect with others. Writing gives me the opportunity to share my creativity, experiences, ideas, and imagination with the world. I’m also a proud mother of a 35-year-old daughter and a 28-year-old son, and a very proud grandmother to two wonderful granddaughters, ages 10 and 9. Family means so much to me and continues to inspire many parts of my life. Professionally, I work as a Direct Support Professional, where helping and supporting others is an important part of what I do. When I’m not writing, I enjoy cooking, grilling, fishing, skating, playing billiards, dining out, and going to the movies. I love enjoying life, trying new things, creating memories, and finding inspiration in everyday moments. On my blog, you’ll find a mixture of short stories, poetry, lifestyle content, recipes, inspiration, creativity, and more. Thank you for stopping by and being part of my journey! — Etta Bighen Independent Author • Blogger • Poet • Storyteller ✍️📚🌈
