If I Had Known

If I had known

The last time we kissed

Would be the last time

I would have memorized your lips

I would have closed my eyes

And remembered every detail

Remembered every touch of your hand

Memorized the feel of your breath

I would have held on to it

Never let it end

Let it last until

My heart ceased to beat

If I had known

The last touch of your hand

Would be the last touch

I would have memorized your hands

I would have traced each line

And memorized their place

Remembered every tender caress

Remembered their passion

If I had known

The last words we would say

I would have made them count

I would have poured out my soul

I would have memorized your voice

And every inflection and tone

I would have said everything

And made it memorable

If I had known

The last time you looked at me

Would be the last look

I would have memorized your face

I would have remembered every look

And every glance

I would have remembered the exact color of your eyes

And memorized the way you looked at me

But I did not know

And now the time has passed

And I’m left with all the pain

Of knowing you are gone from me
