If I would have

If I would have known that you would have made such a lasting impact on my life, I would have thanked you
IF I would have believed that I could love one person so much I would have held on tighter, tried harder
Instead I Just feel as if I'm running against a brick wall
with no hope of knocking myself out, but with only the dread that I can't move past this obstacle that has been set

If I would have known that you would be gone from me in less than a year, I would have enjoyed things more
like getting up early, way before the alarm clock
or listening to the rain while you drove
or listening to different music on the radio, even NPR

But I couldn't have known that when you left my whole life would change so dramatically
Forever
Forever is such a long time, that my mind refuses to comprehend it just yet
If I would have known how seriously you meant forever, I would have told you about my forever

In my forever, you are in it
There is no doubt, no questions, no anxiety
It just saddens me, that there is no chance of forever
But maybe, if we open our hearts to what we once had

If I would have known it would hurt me this much
to be without your kiss, your hand, and your smile
I would have done what I felt was right
Only sooner

But you must understand, that I did all that I could
I loved you without abandon, and I opened my heart without fear
Because I trusted and loved you more than anyone
the only thing left to say is I would have done some things differently, but never would I have chose not to love you
