If Things Were Different (Raquel)

“If Things Were Different (Raquel)”

Genre: Slow Pop Ballad / Acoustic Soul

Raquel, you came like a breeze on a restless night

Soft as a whisper, calm as morning light

I never planned to feel this way inside

But you moved me in ways I couldn't hide

You’re a story I never got to write

A song I hum alone in silent nights

No promises, no wrongs to mend

Just a love that dared not transcend

If things were different, maybe I’d stay

Hold your hand and not look away

But I’m living a life I’ve chosen true

Still, I won’t lie — my heart knew you

Even if just in a quiet, hidden space

Raquel, you left a gentle trace

I don’t regret the road I’m on

But sometimes wonder what we might’ve become

Not to change the past, not to betray

Just honoring what I feel today

If things were different, maybe I’d stay

Hold your hand and not look away

But I’m living a life I’ve chosen true

Still, I won’t lie — my heart knew you

Even if just in a quiet, hidden space

Raquel, you left a gentle trace

It’s not a sin to feel this deep

It’s not a crime to dream in sleep

But I wake each day where I belong

Yet your name still lingers in my song

If things were different, if time rewound

Maybe we'd dance where hearts aren’t bound

But life is now, and love is grace

Raquel, you still have your place —

Not as mine, but as a flame

That once burned softly in my name

Raquel… not goodbye, just a note in the wind

A love that lived… where dreams begin
