I often think of yesteryear's <br />yet, reality confirms my fears. <br />If I had only known it was our last day <br />I would have asked you to please stay. <br />By your side I would have been <br />sharing memories of days when. <br /> We would share some laughs and shed some tears <br />counting blessing for our years. <br />Gentle touches, hearts which beat <br />precious moments our souls to keep. <br />Your look, your smell, your sweet taste <br />not one 'I love you' would we waste. <br />I'd hold you close, as close could be <br /> with your warmth embracing me. <br />If I had only known it was our last day <br />I would have asked to you please stay. <br />Yes, I often think of yesteryear's <br />yet, reality confirms my fears<br /><br />Rene' Bennett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-had-known/
