A Woman and Her Ifs

Lara : Wouldn't it have been lovely if we'd met before?
Zhivago: Before we did? Yes.
Lara : We'd have got married, had a house and children.
Lara : If we'd had children, Yuri, would you like a boy or girl?
Zhivago: I think we may go mad if we think about all that.
Lara : I shall always think about it.

They say that she is not a practical person..
They wondered why she likes to dwindle with the 'if's..
Wasting her time
Playing with the 'maybe's of the past

I would say that..
Let her be..
She's just being herself..
Wondering, imagining but never regretting..
As long as she knows that the past cannot be erased or changed
And if it brings a smile on her cloudy day,
And a shine on her sad worn face..
Just let her be..
