If I Had Known
If i had known that it was our last kiss
i would have frozen that precious moment i will miss
i would have found a way to turn back time to such bliss
if i had only known it was our last kiss
i would have covered your face with tears that fall like mist
i would have told you that all the ways i love you i couldn't begin to list
if i had known i would never touch your heart
i would have surely run away from the very start
i would have said 'no' to my desire even though it was hard
i would have been less aware and more smart
if i had known i couldn't touch your heart
i would have stopped trying before this part
if i had said all the things you couldn't hear
it would have made it much worse i fear
it would have brought a greater sorrow very near
to have to say good bye to you my dear
if i had tried to win your love
maybe angels would have helped from above
i would have shown the innocence of love doves
instead i tried to become the hand to your glove
the fit seemed tight but not enough to win your love right
if i had known it was our last kiss
i wonder if i would still have taken the risk
if only i had known it was our last kiss _________________ StarGazer

Ah but we never do know, do we? And it is that very uncertainty that makes it all the more precious, and maddening.
