If
By La Belle Rouge


If I had come to you, when you asked me to
would it have been the right thing to do?
Would it have ended this ache in my heart?
Where, My Darling, do I dare to even start
to imagine what our lives might have become
when miles were bridged and we were one?
I ponder these questions deep down inside,
where after all these years, love yet abides
It’s too late now to touch and kiss your face
Nothing the piercing pain suffices to erase


If I had come to you when you asked me to
would the heavy weight of guilt stand true
or would perhaps, like verses blended well,
constancy of love pulled heaven from hell?
Would we have penned poetry for the ages?
Would kings and seers perused our pages?
Would we have found more joy in each day
What life might have been, no one can say


You tell me heaven sees, you say heaven knows
the sacrifice we make and how deep it goes
I’ve heard that heaven hears all our prayers
but sometimes I wonder if heaven really cares
Time inches on and the long nights grow cold
Once we both were young, now we grow old
Would being together our happiness ensued
if when you asked me to I had come to you?
