If I Only Knew
If I only knew you're not here to stay
And not leaving me in fantasy
I would have kissed you more
And hold you closed to my heart.
If I only knew how much you cared and how
deep the love you felt for me,
I would have told you countless times that
I love you each day and every day.
If I only knew you have few more days,
that your days were numbered due to a terminal illness,
I could have spent more time with you,
And comfort you by your side,
Talk with you and read your favorite poems 'till you fall asleep.
If I only knew
My regrets... I did not see your sides,
How blind could I be?
How could I forgive myself?
