If only
You loved me
You held me
You saw me
You cared
If only
You listened
You heard me
You noticed
You shared
If only
I loved you
I held you
I saw you
I cared
If only
I listened
I heard you
I noticed
I shared
If only
We learnt to be better
Put stubbornness aside
Reached out to each other
And swallowed our pride
If only
Your pages kept turning
Your chapter didn't end
And the imprints you left
Weren't wounds left to mend
If only
We'd both had more time
We could do it all again
Replace our hate with kindness
And face what happened then.
