~IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN~
If I had only known...
That my last time with you
Would be my last time with you,
I would have watched you sleep longer
I would have savored each breath you took
And I would have loved you stronger.

If I had only known...
That this time would be the last time,
I would have told you that I Loved You,
Though I know those words would scare you
But, at least, you would have known

If I had known...
That the footsteps we made on the sand
And the rocks that we skipped on the ocean
Would be the last thing that we had together,
I would have said to you that I will remember
Every moment we are together

If I had only known...
That our hug would be the last hug,
I would have held you closer and tighter
And I would have whispered in your ear
That I will always Love You.

If I had only known...
That when you drove away that day
That I wouldn't see you for a long time,
I would have chasen after you and stopped you
And told you again that I Loved You

And, If I had only known...
That when we parted we would be where we are now,
Far away and so distant with each other,
I would have never had let you leave
Not without letting you know
that I remember
All the beaches; All the rocks we sat on;
All the time we shared;
All the smells of the ocean,
I remember everything
And still now even yearn for you
And I would never have let my Heart
be so deeply touched
If I had only known.....
