Fini
If I'd have known...
I would have let that final kiss linger;
I would have held you a bit more tightly in that last embrace;
I would have looked deeply into your eyes as I said "I love you".
I would have surely
ingrained in my mind
how your fingertips felt as they traced along my jawline,
and lightly danced across my lips.
I would have savored the warmth of your bare skin against mine.
It's not the fear
of never knowing love
like that again.
It's the fear of forgetting
exactly how love once was,
and always should be.
If I'd have known...
I wouldn't have
let you
let go
so soon.
