If Only

That last hugThose constrained smiles exchangedI knew it was the last summer with youSince then everything has changed
With a heavy heartAnd tearful eyesI knew it was the last time I’d see youAs we waved our goodbyes
Knowing very well of your absenceYour memories, they dwell somewhere near nowMemories that visit each nightReminding me of the past, and of what I lack now
If only you were here todayMay be peace would have reignedprayers would have been answeredAnd hearts wouldn’t have been cozened
But you’re gone nowLeaving nothing but a heart lonelyAnd all that I have remains
Are ‘what-if’s, maybes and an if-only
