If only I’d known,

That the last time I saw you would be the last time ever.

That in just a few short months,

You’d be taken from us forever.

 

If only I’d known,

I’d ask you more questions about the time before me.

What’s your favourite colour?

What your favourite song used to be?

 

If only I’d known,

I’d have taken more time to get to know who you were.

Not just take it for granted,

Believing that you’d always be there.

 

If only I’d known,

The day we said goodbye I’d have held on longer,

I’d have told I loved you.

So when the time came I’d be stronger.

 

If only I’d known,

That it doesn’t get easier with each passing year,

That I’d miss you forever,

And forever is a long time, I fear.
