If I had known
If I have known that the last time I saw youWould be the last time that I saw you
I would have turned one more time
To memorize the curves of your face
I would have studied the way that you hair
Falls across your forehead
And committed to memory every wrinkle
That formed as you smiled at me that last time
I would have crossed the room
And buried my face in your neck
To breathe in your scent
And feel the softness of your skin
I would have leaned into your arms
To lose myself in your strength
And held on as long as I dared
To the only place that has ever felt like home
I would have kissed you once
And then again
And once again
Lingering...
If I had known I would have done so many things
So differently
I would have held on
I would have found a way not to go
If I had known

Rowdy...at 43, I've had more than my fair share of loss, it seems. We have to keep smiling...else, what is the point of life?
Sendsomeone...yes, you may. It is something, isn't, when we find that there are others who have felt the same things that we have.
