If only

If I would have known I'd never see you again,

If I would have known that was the last time we would be together,

If I would have known I'd never get another chance 

   to talk to you,

   to hold you,

   to kiss you,

   to touch you,

If I would have known I'd wake up the next day without you in my life,

I would have held you a little tighter,

   kissed you a little longer,

   talked to you on and on,

   touched your hand, and never let it go,

   gently whispered "I love you" over and over again,

   and asked you with all my heart,

          "how could I live without you?".

I would have done all these,

          and more,

          so much more.

   If only...

          If only I would have known.
