That does sound romantic. But then you'd have to consider a couple things. For example, if you go back in time, would it affect your memories or that of those around you? You've got to be careful when playing around with what would be considered as 'fate'. Or at least that's a loophole many manga and comics look into for these kind of things...

[hmmm] But to avoid the incident altogether seems best, since you mentioned it.
