Going Back

If I could have said them, I would have,

They were words that never graced my lips.

You see I hadn’t courage to say them but…

****************************************

I’d have cried for the person you once were,

But those were tears that never lined my cheek.

You see, I hadn’t heart to make them but…

****************************************

If I had a time to go back to,

And live the space of that time forever,

I’d go right back to the time love,

When we still had each other.

****************************************

If I had known there would come a day

When you were sad before you even woke

I’d have told you more often how I love you and…

****************************************

I’d have shared with you what I felt inside,

Though I hadn’t yet discovered the key

To help you see inside of me.

****************************************

If I had a time to go back to,

And live the space of that time forever,

I’d go right back to the time love,

When we still had each other.

****************************************

I’d take back a million things, this minute,

To keep you next to me

I’d bring the heavens crashing down,

Push back the raging sea…

To keep you next to me.

****************************************

If I had a time to go back to,

When the sunlight was on my face,

Then you and I would still be in love,

Before two strangers took our place.

****************************************

I’d give my life so you could live,

My soul be damned for you,

There’s no price too high, no cost too great.

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do…

To be there next to you.

****************************************

If I had a time to go back to,

And live the space of that time forever,

I’d go right back to the time, love,

When we still loved each other.

This is another poem of mine that became a song. Many of them do. I'm enclosing a link to the song below. I hope you like it!
