if i only knew
If I only knew the storms we'd weather,
Paths untrodden, hearts tethered together.
In the unknown, we became light as a feather.
If I only knew the strength in our tears,
The joy and pain, the passing years.
In our shared journey, love appears.
If I only knew of the lessons to come,
The battles fought, the victories won.
In hindsight's glow, we understand the sum.
