If I Had Known

If I Had Known

A Poem by Jeff

If I had known that one day

I’d have met you

I would have done

Everything different

I’d have been the man

Who so desired

 

If I had known that one day

I’d feel your lips on mine

I’d change my path

To meet you all the way

I’d have no need to be

Your knight in shining armor

 

If I had known that you would

Be in my life someday

I’d have waited for you

Instead of watching you

In another man’s arms

And myself all alone

So wonderful, it sings of love lost but not forgotten, and that yearning for what should have been had one taken a different path.
