If and only if we could turn back time,
Undo the mistakes, erase the crime.
If and only if we could mend the broken,
Heal the wounds that were left unspoken.

If and only if tears could bring you back,
I'll cry you a river as it doesn't lack.
If and only if I could hold your hands one last time,
Then I'll gladly do that as we laugh and dine.

If and only if we could rewrite the past,
Make the moments forever last.
If and only if we could hold on tight,
To the fleeting moments in the night.

If and only if we could say goodbye,
With a heart that didn't have to cry.
If and only if we could find a way,
To make the pain simply fade away.

If and only if we could truly see,
The beauty in the moments that used to be.
If and only if we could understand,
The fragility of life's shifting sand.

If and only if we could embrace the sorrow,
And find hope in a new tomorrow.
If and only if we could learn to cope,
With the memories of lost hope.
Rest well 🕊️
