If I Had Only Known...

by Danielle   Feb 8, 2006


If I had only known it was our last walk together,
I would grab your hand and lead the way.
I would lead you through the rain into sunshine,
I would lead you to happiness so you could forget the sorrows that cloud your heart.

If I had only known I could never see you again,
I would memorize every detail about you.
I would remember what you were wearing,
I would memorize your smile that lights up a room when you're around.

If I had only known I would never hear your voice,
I would remember everything you said.
I would remember the way you laugh with a sparkle in your eye.
I would remember our last conversation word by word so when I missed you, I would never forget anything.

If I had known it was our last time together,
I would never want to leave you.
I would give you a hug the size of a bear,
I would smile when I left instead of crying thinking of the good times together.
