Would you?

I run my fingers over your words,

Trying to take in all I might have missed,

All I could have had,

If only I had known.

I close my eyes and see yours,

I take slow breaths and wish to hear yours,

I place my palm over my heart and yearn to feel yours,

If only I had known.

What if I had seen all you said I hadn't,

What if I had felt all you said I didn't,

What if I had said all you said I wouldn't?

If only I had let you know.

Has time taken you away from me?

Has another hand stolen your heart?

Has another pair of lips deprived me of yours?

I don't know if I have the strength to know.

I would lie forever in your embrace,

Be forever in your debt,

Trudge beside you like a puppy,

If only you would let me know...
