Poem: If I Had Known…

If I had known it would be the last
I would have held you longer,
Slipping my arms around you,
Pulling you close to me, too,
Placing my cheek on your chest,
Stroking your hair, watching you rest.
If I had only known.

If I had known it would fade so fast
I would have kissed you deeper,
Absorbing your lips’ softness,
Losing myself in your kiss.
Drinking in all your desire,
Refusing to quench the fire.
If I had only known.

If I had known it would be the last
I would have stayed through the night,
Holding on to every breath
As if it would mean my death
To let you go.

If I had only known.
