If Only

If only i could turn back time
If only i could save my mind
From this hole i'm sinking into
From this burden that makes me little


If only i had known before
If only my heart had been warned
That this love will cause me such pain
That this love won't leave me the same


If only i could forget
If only i didn't regret
I would feel as happy as i was before
I would have the peace i so long for



If only you never met me
If only you never hurt me
My mind would still be filled with fear
My heart would still doubt every care



If only i never met you
If only i never hurt you
I could still look you in the face
I could keep the memory of those days

Apart from the small musicality issue in Stanza 2 Line 3 (it could do without "such"), this is absolutely splendid! Beautiful, powerful and profound! Well done!

In the end, all one thinks about are 'ifs' and 'maybes' again, this was wonderful. I love what you write.I can understand you and your emotions.

I like the ideas you have, but the rhyme scheme is a little, wonky, if I may. You stuck with the first two lines of each stanza quite nicely but the others are not the same. Some rhyme while some break the pattern.
Pen on!
