If Things Were Different (Raquel)

“If Things Were Different (Raquel)”

Genre: Slow Pop Ballad / Acoustic Soul

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Final Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Raquel… not goodbye, just a note in the wind
A love that lived… where dreams begin
