If I had known kissing you would mean losing you,
I never would have let our lips touch,
never would have gotten into your car,
much less suggest going for a ride.
If I had known giving in would mean never talking again,
I'd rather not have touched you,
much less want you.
If I had known things would break that night,
I never would have answered your call,
much less opened your text.
If I had known that was the last time
I would get to touch your hair,
hold your hand,
laugh with you
and be with you,
I would have never left your side.
